Aqua-fit is an impact-free exercise class which improves strength, flexibility and endurance.  It incorporates the use of floatation noodles and foam dumbbells and is best performed in deep water but is also done in shallow water.  Participants can work at their own level but will be motivated by the instructor.
This workout is extremely joint-friendly and is ideal for people with arthritis, back and knee problems, and people recovering from accident or injury. It is self-regulating: you determine the intensity - anywhere from light to strenuous.

Lifeguard Courses
Normandy Swimming Pool is a Nationally Accredited Training Centre, this means that we can deliver the National Pool Lifeguard certificate (NPLQ) course here to groups of people.
The National Pool Lifeguard Qualification (NPLQ) is the standard qualification needed to become a lifeguard in the United Kingdom and Ireland. The NPLQ qualifications and courses are administered by IQL UK Ltd, which is the Institute of Qualified Lifeguards. This is a subsidiary of the Royal Life Saving Society.
The courses usually comprise an intensive 1-week period of physical training and theoretical classroom work, followed by a practical in-water and out-of-water assessment on pool rescue, first aid, CPR and lifeguarding concepts.
The qualification is internationally recognised (ILS Recognised) and can be especially useful for students wishing to travel abroad to continue lifeguarding. The qualification lasts for 2 years from the date of issue and a further 20 hours of training must be completed before a lifeguard applies for renewal.
Courses are run annually with additional courses being run when needed, for further information please contact the Pool Manager swimming@scilly.gov.uk
