Open water swimming is one of the fastest-growing sports in the UK. The OWL qualification has been specifically designed to equip open water lifeguards with the skills required to supervise and provide rescue cover for planned, organised and risk assessed activities in still or non-tidal water.

This Qualification is not suitable for moving water environments.

  • Section 1 - The Open Water Lifeguard, environment, hazards and supervision
  • Section 2 - Responding to an emergency and taking action
  • Section 3 - CPR and First Aid

Course Assessment

The OWL course syllabus and practical skills are continually assessed by the course trainer and a suitable level of competence must be achieved to be put forward for a final independent assessment.

The assessment will include verbal question and answer sessions, practical demonstrations of water rescue skills, CPR and First Aid

It is recommended that lifeguards engage in continuous training to ensure they are ready for duty and renewal.

The closest station is Royal Victoria on the DLR and is only a few minutes walk. You can also reach us by the Emirates Skyline – the terminal is 100m from the entrance gate.

There is very limited parking in the area.  Check the JustPark app for private spaces in Brittania Village which is a short walk from the venue.  There is also some paid parking on Dock Road though this can be busy during the week.  Currently this is free on Sundays.
