Herts Canoe Lifeguards are a BCU Lifeguard unit and meet every Monday night from 7.00pm to 9.00pm at HYMB. We welcome new members which is open to anyone over the age of 11.
General canoeing skills and experiences are built upon by training to the BCU Lifeguard Syllabus and recognised first aid qualifications. All members are encouraged to extend their skills and take assessments. Using these skills we provide lifeguard safety for a variety of water based events such as canoeing races, open water swims and triathlons.
For many years we have provided safety cover for The London Triathlon, the biggest triathlon in the world. We have been regular participants of the annual BCU Lifeguard Championships often putting in 2 or 3 teams and are the most successful team in the last 10 years. We also attend the BCU Lifeguard convention and other covers and events run by the National BCU Lifeguard Committee.
