HOW DO LIFEGUARD TRIALS WORK?
Our Lifeguard Trials are neatly divided into two fun sessions consisting of three overall activities with a halfway break for lunch.
THE MORNING SESSION
On arrival at the Newquay Activity Centre, our team of friendly lifeguard-qualified instructors will lead you down to the beach where you’ll learn to perform some fundamental lifesaving skills. These skills are an existing part of the internationally recognised beach lifeguard training course SLSGB. The session will be pitched at a suitable level to suit the dynamic of your group.
After some fun warm ups and friendly hello’s, you will set out to learn the following skills that are delivered to you through fun competitions and challenges:
THE AFTERNOON SESSION
Depending on the tide, your preference of adrenaline and your area of interest, we’ll work with you to find the perfect afternoon coasteering and super SUP adventure. We have the North Coast Challenge and Adventure Gulley for the thrill seekers, the Heritage Coasteer for the cultured adrenaline junkies and the Low Tide Coasteer for the environmentally minded.
Imagine clambering through old smugglers’ caves, climbing up rocks & traversing cliffs. Watching incredible marine life in its natural habitat, negotiating natural rapids and enjoying whirlpools before attempting adrenaline-fuelled sea cliff jumps; that’s what coasteering is all about!
Whilst enjoying the fun of our epic coasteering routes, you will safely-yet-unexpectedly be thrown into a mock rescue scenario! Once your instructor gives the call, you will cast your mind back to the mornings lesson and devise a rescue and evacuation plan for your staged casualty. Think on your feet and assess the situation to prove you’ve got what it takes to overcome the challenges facing you and your crew.
As well as counting on each other, you will also be able to call in the aid of our nearby super SUP to help get your casualty to safety. Once free of the crags and cliffs and with a successful rescue under your belt, you will have the chance to explore the coast using your new rescue craft.
Learn how to paddle effectively and how to work as a team to navigate this giant stand up paddle board around the dramatic coastline of Newquay. Use this super sized floating platform of fun as a base to run, jump, splash and paddle your way through the crystal-clear waters before returning back to base.
