A free lifeguard training course for women is available at Hanworth Air Park leisure centre next month.

There are just 12 places on offer, on a first come first serve basis, in a bid to boost the number of female lifeguards in Hounslow's leisure centres.

At the end of the five day course which is open to women who live or work in the borough you will gain a qualification and land a job too.

The National Pool Lifeguard Qualification (NPLQ) has been provided by Fusion to better cater for women only sessions.

The free course will run from February 16 to 20 at Hanworth Air Park Leisure Centre, Uxbridge Road, Hanworth.
