Life Support Classes for Adults
Something for the parents! Would you like to learn the life support skills that your children are learning, and earn the nationally recognised RLSS Life Support awards? Come and join in for the theory hour, no need to get in the water at all (unless you'd also like to join the Bronze Medallion class). If there is enough interest, we will start these classes.
