💥 More stable than standard snorkels
💥 Comfortable cushioned support
💥 Adjustable fit
💥 Smooth breathing through every set
💥 Perfect for drills, training & performance work
The new colours are a vibe 🙌🏼🌺🏊🏼‍♀️🏊🏼

If you’ve used traditional snorkels before… this is your upgrade. 👊

12 LIFEGUARDS QUALIFIED IN ONE WEEK 🛟🔥

And this is only the beginning…

In our first few weeks delivering the full NPLQ, NPLQ Renewals, and NRASTC courses, we’ve achieved something we’re incredibly proud of:

✔️ 6 lifeguards successfully completed their NPLQ Renewal and are now qualified and ready to work

✔️ 6 candidates passed our first full NPLQ course with a 100% pass rate 👑

👉 That’s 12 qualified lifeguards in just one week, now ready to work, earn, and keep people safe in and around the water.

✔️ 3 candidates also passed our first NRASTC course with a 100% pass rate 👑

👉 Supporting the next wave of teachers and coaches to deliver safe aquatic sessions.

The NPLQ is not an easy qualification. It demands fitness, focus, resilience, and the ability to respond under pressure in real-life emergency situations. Every candidate worked hard for this, and we are incredibly proud of what they achieved.

A huge thank you to Tom Howells, our Lead RLSS Trainer, for delivering.

Thank you as well to Kelly Long of Rise & Co for assessing the full course, and to Jake Didcock and Cheryl Pottinger for supporting and assessing our renewal candidates 🫶🏼🥇

Delivering our first NRASTC course this April was another exciting milestone for Swim Design Space, well done to everyone involved 🏊🏼‍♀️🏊🏼
