Testimonial: Mr C Wiltshire
“The Inshore Rescue Boat Crew course was a very good course. I found the ratio between practical and theory sessions where perfect to learn all that I needed to know to pass the course. The facilities and equipment where outstanding and were much more then I was expecting for a voluntary organisation. I found that everything I needed was there from a cup of tea to all the equipment I needed. I really enjoyed the whole experience and will be coming back to Seaford Lifeguards for future training.”
