ZRZ - Swimming Pool Supervisor

Join

Content

In the swimming pool, strict rules exist for supervision. This is logical because every drowning incident is one too many. That's why more and more organizations managing a pool require their employees to have the Swimming Rescue for Swimming Pools (ZRZ) diploma. Only with this diploma can you supervise a pool.
These requirements are also increasingly imposed on associations that rent the pool. Many associations do not have someone with this diploma and also do not have separate supervisors. In the future, this will become a problem for many associations as the reins are tightened further by owners.

You can help solve this by obtaining such a diploma if you:
  • have the ABC diploma
  • have a valid First Aid diploma from the Red Cross or Orange Cross.
  • have a VOG (Certificate of Good Conduct)
  • meet the requirements of the swimming test
  • are an active cadre member at the association or elsewhere in the swimming pool


Of course, you must be able to swim sufficiently yourself, which you achieve by actively participating in a swimming sport or otherwise keeping up with swimming.
An additional benefit is that as a young person, you'll find it easier to get holiday work at a swimming pool because you're qualified.
The course lasts about 35 hours if you have a First Aid diploma and usually takes place in Dordrecht over 3 days or in about 6 sessions at the Lifeguard Association. You'll need to attend theory and practical lessons, complete an assignment, and undergo a (practical) exam.

It goes without saying that you must have sufficient swimming ability yourself to rescue someone. That's why this test is done as a prerequisite. You swim fully clothed (polo shirt and shorts) because that's typically the case for a lifeguard on duty.

If you pass this swim test - with shorts and a polo shirt on - and complete the other 3 components in this task, you can start the ZRZ training. You must complete two components, which you will repeat during the practical exam:
  • Swim 25m freestyle with clothes on within 30 seconds.
  • Enter the water from the poolside in a swift, safe, and responsible manner, immediately followed by swimming underwater for 15 meters to retrieve a ring located at a depth of at least 2 meters and 15 meters from the edge.

If you do not meet the requirements of this swim test, it is unwise to participate in the lifeguard training.
