“10/10 would recommend Atlantic Coast Lifeguards for any course. I did my NPLQ TA with Muirti and he is a top class instructor. It’s unreal the progress I feel I’ve made in a week. Really looking forward to starting the Beach Lifeguard with them ♥️”

I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to be a lifeguard!”
