Celebrating our 10th lifeguard course at Glasgow Club Gorbals

Since 2019, Glasgow Life Sport has proudly collaborated with Glasgow Clyde College to train the next generation of pool lifeguards, supporting students in securing both full-time and part-time employment. This impactful partnership integrates SQA-accredited coursework with the internationally recognised Swim Teachers Association Pool Lifeguard Award.

Currently celebrating the 10th cohort at Glasgow Club Gorbals, the 12-week course offers students invaluable interview preparation support from Glasgow Life Sport. Many graduates have secured employment with Glasgow Life, while others have used their qualifications to work abroad. Through Glasgow Life's state-of-the-art facilities and the commitment of Glasgow Clyde College students, this partnership consistently produces skilled professionals for the sport and fitness industry.

The success of this programme is a testament to the dedication, creativity, and expertise of key individuals: Glasgow Life tutors Danielle Bowes and Simon Jack, Glasgow Clyde College lecturer Gillian Boyle, and Glasgow Sport & Physical Activities Officer Cheryl MacLachlan. Together, they all deliver exceptional training and career opportunities, ensuring this partnership continues to grow and thrive year after year.
