RLSS UK is committed to ensuring their qualifications and awards remain at the forefront of the leisure industry. With this in mind, we are excited to announce that the Emergency Rescue Pool (ER-Pool) has relaunched and now is the new Swimming Pool Emergency Rescue Award. 

The Swimming Pool Emergency Rescue Award is designed for individuals who have a responsibility to respond to a swimming pool in the event of an emergency, by performing a rescue, or assisting a lifeguard team.  

The Swimming Pool Emergency Rescue Award is not intended to replace a lifeguard qualification, such as the National Pool Lifeguard Qualification (NPLQ). The NPLQ includes more detailed training and content to prepare someone to supervise a swimming pool directly.
