Groups stay at six or fewer. A wetsuit and the rescue kit are included. Days mix classroom time with timed swims and open-water practice. 📋 Key Details Duration: 5 days Meeting point: Gupton Farm, Castlemartin, SA71 5HW Minimum age: 16 years Group: Maximum 6 people Kit: Wetsuit and rescue equipment for the sessions 🏄 Key Skills Beach patrol and how a rescue is called Tube and ocean board rescues CPR and basic life support Casualty care and first aid on the sand Incident reporting and a simple emergency plan 👀 What to Expect Beach environments, communications and first aid come first, then the pool and the open coast. You practise tube and board rescues, casualty handling and timed fitness pieces. Assessments run through the five days rather than all landing on the last afternoon. Give yourself 15 minutes on day one. The beach is chosen around swell, wind and tide. There is no need to have worked as a lifeguard before, but you do need to be a confident swimmer and medically fit for a physical week. 📍 Location Theory happens in the farm building at Gupton Farm, Castlemartin, SA71 5HW. Turn right off the main road, follow the drive, then park by the wood-clad containers and the farmhouse-style building on the left. Pool and beach sessions use venues chosen around the day's conditions. Freshwater West and other South Pembrokeshire stretches are the usual open-water sites. We send the pin the evening before if you are not starting at the farm. ✅ Prerequisites Sixteen, medically fit for swimming, running, lifting and rescue work, and already a confident swimmer. There is no need to have held a lifeguard award before. Bring swimwear, a towel, a warm layer and a packed lunch each day. Your own wetsuit is fine. Tell us any medical notes that affect long days in the sea. ⭐ Why Choose Us Groups stay at six, so you get time on each rescue rather than watching from the wall. Trainers hold SLSGB awards and work as beach lifeguards. Dean has trained lifeguards and coaches on this coast since 1999. The week uses a real Pembrokeshire beach, not only a pool. A wetsuit and the rescue kit are there, and membership for the award sits in the same package. ### Essential information _None._ ### What’s included 5 day SLSGB Beach Lifeguard course SLSGB membership Pool and open-water rescue sessions CPR and first aid training Wetsuit and rescue kit for the week ### What’s not included Transport to and from the farm, pool and beaches Accommodation and meals Personal swimwear and towel Personal insurance ### Kit list Swimwear A towel and a warm dry layer Packed lunch and a refillable bottle Pen and paper Your own wetsuit if you have one ## FAQs ### How long is the course? Five days, usually from about 9am, mixing classroom time at Gupton Farm with pool work and open-water rescue on a Pembrokeshire beach. Assessments run through the week rather than all landing on the last afternoon. Day one starts 15 minutes before the first classroom block. The beach is confirmed the evening before if that day starts on the sand rather than at the farm. ### What is the minimum age? Sixteen. You should already be a confident swimmer and medically fit for a physical week. There is no need to have worked as a lifeguard before. You will swim, run, lift and carry through the week. If a medical note affects that, say so before you arrive so trainers can plan around it where the award still allows. ### Where do we meet? The farm building at Gupton Farm, Castlemartin, SA71 5HW is the usual day-one pin. Turn right off the main road, follow the drive, then park by the wood-clad containers and the farmhouse-style building on the left. Toilets are in the building. Pool and beach days use venues chosen around the day's swell, wind and tide. The pin comes the evening before if you are not starting at the farm. ### What is included? The five-day SLSGB Beach Lifeguard training, SLSGB membership, qualified trainers, CPR and first aid, pool and open-water sessions, a wetsuit if you need one, and the rescue kit used on the course. Accommodation, meals and travel to Pembrokeshire sit outside the package. Bring swimwear, a towel and a packed lunch each day. Tea, coffee and a kettle are at the farm. ### What fitness do I need? Timed swims, running, lifting, tube and board rescues, and casualty handling. You also pass first aid, CPR and the theory papers that sit with the award. Trainers run these through the week so you are not meeting every standard for the first time on Friday. Say if you want a clear list of the timed pieces before you arrive. ### What will we cover? Beach patrol, communications, emergency planning, casualty care, CPR, first aid, tube rescues, ocean board rescues and surf rescues. Classroom blocks sit next to pool and open-water practice. You work in small groups, so trainers can watch each rescue and give a cue between attempts rather than leaving you to copy from the back. ### What if the weather is poor? Ordinary rain does not cancel the week. The beach moves, or a pool or classroom block swaps in, when swell or wind makes the planned water session unsafe. Messages each evening carry the next day's pin. The five days stay on this coast, just not always on the same stretch if a beach is closed or flat. ### What should I bring? Swimwear, a towel, a warm dry layer, sunscreen, a packed lunch, a refillable bottle and a pen. A towel robe helps because most beaches have no changing rooms. Your own wetsuit is fine. Send your size before you arrive so a suit is ready. Leave valuables at the farm or in the car rather than on the sand. ### How long does the award last? Twenty-four months from the assessment date. After that you complete the renewal the award asks for if you want to stay current. Keep your membership details and the certificate somewhere you can find them. Trainers can outline the renewal at the end of the week. ### Do I need lifeguard experience? The week starts with the core theory and pool work, then builds into more open-water rescues. You should already be a confident swimmer and ready for the fitness pieces. If you have not swum a timed 400 metres recently, practise before you arrive. The week is long, and the water work does not wait for a first confident length. ## Media - **Primary image URL (resolved in app; may be absolute)**: https://adventuro.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=1200,format=auto,quality=90/https://wp.adventuro.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/surf-coach-safety-rescue-location-dates.jpg - **Gallery image count**: 8 ## Limitations - Availability, exact session times, and final price may depend on the live booking flow. - This Markdown is generated from the same catalog fields as the public HTML page at the canonical URL above.
