Harlech pool is running a lifeguards course between the 21st and 26th of February.

The course is open to any strong swimmer over the age of 16........(there will be a short swimming test before the course starts to determine whether candidates are good enough swimmers)

On successful completion of the course candidates will get a

'Royal Life Saving National Pool Lifeguard Qualification'

which will qualify you to work as a lifeguard anywhere in the UK and in many foreign countries.

Course costs;

£220 for pool members

£285 for non-members

£150 for students (with or without membership)

So if you fancy adding the qualification of 'Lifeguard' to your CV, want to learn a new skill, renew an existing qualification, or just fancy earning some extra cash working in local pools, then give Mike Roberts a ring at the pool on 01766 780576.

Well after almost three years of hard work and determination, Harlech Pool was finally handed over to the community on Dec 1st 2010.

Now the hard work really begins because now we have to make the pool pay.  The grand plan is to build a climbing wall, a new reception area, a new cafe, and make improvements to the changing rooms.

It all sounds great but it isn't going to happen unless more people use the pool......so good citizens of Harlech and Ardudwy get swimming, you know it makes sense.  

Harlech swimming pool is open, see www.harlechpool.com for activities and opening times.
