Lifesavers / first aiders can bridge the gap between an incident being discovered and the arrival of the emergency services. In effect we can make a crucial difference. Emergencies don’t just happen to other people – it could be our family or friends who we love and care. We may need these life saving skills – to save their lives!

V3 Aquatic Club Aquatic Rescue Training (V3 ART) programmes are customised with different target audience in mind. Before drafting any program, we need to appreciate the participants’ background and comprehend their goals, then we can crystallise a progressive training programme to help participants to achieve their objectives based on their current foundation.

It is not possible to have 2 emergency situations that are totally alike; therefore the basic principles will be emphasized in V3 ART programmes rather than dogmatically focusing on a standard method of rescue. These basic foundations are essential for further self development and growth.

V3 ART Programmes are exclusively crafted to meet your personal goals. Some of our popular programmes are:
