Ensure safety and compliance across our region’s unique aquatic environments with our Nationally Recognised Open Water Lifeguard training. Specifically designed for the Mid North Coast’s diverse landscape—from the lakes and rivers of Port Macquarie to inland lagoons and aqua parks—this course is the gold standard for outdoor recreation leaders, professional lifeguards, and aquatic event organisers.

Whether you are looking to advance your career in the leisure industry or a local business seeking to up-skill your safety team, our training provides the rescue skills needed for complex, high-pressure scenarios.

Participants will gain proficiency in both swim-based and non-motorised craft rescues (including rescue boards), while mastering environmental hazard assessment.

For local organisations, this qualification ensures your staff can expertly manage competitive events like Mid North Coast triathlons and open water swim legs. By training locally in Port Macquarie, you’ll learn to navigate the specific currents and weather patterns common to our regional waterways, ensuring you meet the highest Australian safety standards and ARC guidelines.
