Eight more members of Hayle Surf Life Saving Club have successfully gained their SLSGB Beach Lifeguard Award after six weeks of training. Juniors, Ben Tredinnick, Nick Pearson and Billy Read were taking the exam for the first time alongside Nipper Parents, Mike Friday and James Harrison. Other successful candidates were Traci Parker, Emma Tredinnick and Jess Fairlie.
Course Instructor, James Uren, said “It is a big achievement to obtain this professional qualificaton as there is a great deal of information to learn from the extensive manual and all the practical aspects of resuscitation to mastering different rescue techniques in the sea, not to mention the timed swim of 400 metres in under 7min 30 sec. Thank you to the Assessors, John (Jock) Paton, Nick Pendrich and Jack Butler (trainee) for giving up their time and to fellow Instructor Jamie Smith for helping out when required. It is especially satisfying when members who joined as Nippers (7 to 13yrs) successfully gain this award as this is a reflection on all the good work and instruction that goes on throughout the years within the Club.”
