by their employers, do<br />
not have the physical<br />

passing the course as<br />
they can and will not<br />
pass any person who may be placing their own safety in<br />
jeopardy, as well as that of the victim, due to their physical<br />

has introduced a system whereas a student who fails, has<br />
50<br />
30 days in which to practice and improve their skills and<br />
be retested, thus allowing trainees a second chance should<br />
they have problems during the initial exams or in water test<br />
requirements.<br />
For 2020 the following dates have been selected for training,<br />
they are: January 27th., February 27th., March 23rd., June<br />

All will be combined Open Water, 5 days and Pool. 4 days,<br />
Lifeguard certificate courses.<br />
For 2020 also ZLI will be introducing a “Scholarship<br />
Program” whereas unemployed youths, male and Female<br />
will be able to train for almost free, why almost, as if no<br />
investment, generally no commitment, in return they will<br />
also be required to assist at Swim-safe and events in return.<br />
