Christine Gallie, Swim School Coordinator at Meadowlands Leisure Pool, comments:
Rookie Lifeguards know how to stay safe near water and how to keep calm should a situation arise. These young people have shown real dedication and put in a lot of hard work. I think they have also had a great deal of fun in the process. We commend their achievement.
