Water Safety

DEFRA Approved Level 1 Water Awareness Course

This 4 hour course will provide you with the skills and knowledge to stay safer around inland and flood water. This award is authorised by Surf Life Saving GB, and meets the DEFRA Level 1 Concept of Operations.
Trained by our own Surf Life Saving Flood Rescue Instructor, and supported by our operational team members, you will gain an insight on:
  • Hydrology 
  • Hazards of Inland and Flood Water
  • Personal Protective Equipment 
  • Dangers of Soft Surfaces
  • Reach, Throw and Shout Rescue (short outdoor practical session)
The first part will be classroom based at our premises on Caton Road, after this we will relocate to Denny Beck a few minutes away for a short practical session (You wont get wet but some of the team will!) You will be provided with all personal protective equipment on the day. Please wear suitable clothing for the weather, and suitable footwear.

Cost £30
This pays for SLSGB Certificate, Day Membership, Insurance and Teas & Coffees. As LASAR is a charity additional donations are always welcome!

Venue: At LASAR premises on Caton Road, Lancaster, LA1 3PE (directions below)
