Swim Safe Kenya Successfully Concludes Lifeguard Refresher Program at Kenton College

Nairobi, Kenya – 26th September 2025 — Swim Safe Kenya (SSK) has once again demonstrated its leadership in water safety training by successfully completing an intensive lifeguard refresher program at Kenton College Preparatory School. The program, which concluded on 26th September 2025, saw seven PE teachers and sports coaches officially recertified.

Why Lifeguard Refresher Training Matters

Lifeguarding requires continuous practice and updated knowledge of rescue techniques, first aid, and emergency response protocols. The refresher program ensured that participants:

• Practiced real-life simulations, including water rescues and emergency drills.
• Strengthened crisis management skills, ensuring calm, quick, and effective responses.

By keeping lifeguards certified and confident, SSK ensures that schools and institutions maintain the highest standards of safety for students and athletes.

Commitment to Schools and Communities

The refresher program is part of Swim Safe Kenya’s ongoing efforts to work with schools, sports associations, and community organizations to advance water safety education and drowning prevention.

Speaking after the certification, SSK representatives emphasized that teachers and coaches play a vital role in safeguarding children during swimming and sports activities. Equipping them with up-to-date lifeguard skills ensures a safer environment for learners.
