RLSS Swimming Pool Emergency Rescue Award (SPERA)

A man in a pool practices rescue with a lifeguard at poolside.

The Swimming Pool Emergency Rescue Award is designed for individuals who may need to respond to a swimming pool emergency, providing first aid and rescue support to lifeguards.  The award includes training in CPR, AED use, and first aid. A valid certification requires passing both a written assessment and practical demonstrations.  


Candidates must be over 16 years old and be able to:.

  • Surface dive to the deepest part of the pool and be able to climb out of the pool unassisted (where the venue design permits). 
  • Complete a written assessment and demonstrate your knowledge and skills in a practical assessment. 
  • Attend 100% of the course. 


This course can be delivered at your premises, suitable for leisure clubs, hotels, spas and much more. Please get in touch to discuss your requirements.
