We will be hosting our first LIFESAVING - BRONZE MEDALLION course/program at Kahuna Surfhouse with the certified lifesaving instructor; Dr Anestis Vasiliou.

Upon completion of the LIFESAVING - BRONZE MEDALLION program, trainees will be able to understand the definition and role of a lifeguard, recognize dangers lurking in the pool area, as well as distinguish and be able to choose the correct protocols and techniques involved in each case. They will be able to apply the appropriate techniques and algorithms appropriate to the patient(s) until the outcome of the latter(s) in the nearest Emergency department. Trainees will also be able to have self-confidence and self-reliance in relation to the knowledge and skills acquired from the program, and thus be ready to mobilize at any time requested or whenever they need to do so.
