We have started off NCW with a talk from an alumni, Brandon, and his colleague, Jess, who came into school to talk about their job roles as lifeguards and swim teachers at Market Drayton Swimming Pool. Both Brandon and Jess at some point have either taught the group swimming or been a lifeguard whilst our school have been at the pool, so the students are very familiar with them.
They went through a detailed presentation about what it takes to become a lifeguard, their pathways to becoming lifeguards and swim teachers, as well as other pathways and jobs within the industry.
The session finished off with a vital skill which they use in their role, which is crucial for anybody to know, basic CPR. The students had the opportunity to test their skills in being able to perform adult CPR and were informed the importance of them knowing that skill.
Thank you to Brandon and Jess for coming in, our students really enjoyed your session and took a lot from it!
