Published: 26 March, 2009

Joanna Symons, Year 11, has achieved the National Pool Lifeguard qualification at the pool in her home town of Totnes. 

 

She undertook the intensive course - run over five, eight-hour days - at half term.

 

The training involved first aid and CPR, as well as towing ‘casualties’ while fully-clothed.  Since gaining the qualification Joanna has secured herself a Saturday job as a lifeguard at Totnes pool.
