This approach to water safety education is a foundational block of what we do at Cork Lifeguard Academy (CLA). By training with Lifeguards, our trainees learn from their hard-earned knowledge and skills. This helps us to train a higher standard of Lifesavers & Lifeguards for our communities and applicants for Beach Lifeguard Services.
Our graduates are coached by the best of the best mentors in Cork County, with a combined experience of 24+ Beach Lifeguard seasons. Through this, trainees gain invaluable insight into the industry and learn from real-life experience.
Christine, Róisín, and Graham first met through water safety classes. Where they trained and volunteered together at the Water Safety Ireland (WSI) Training Centre in Gus Healy Swimming Pool. Since then, they have worked together for many seasons on the Cork County Council Beach Guard Service across the county.
To employ Lifeguards has been a long term goal of Graham. He strongly believes that such expertise and passion should be rewarded and promoted. CLA is proud to be able to do so.
