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 is important that you can apply everything you have learned in practice. You must do so fully dressed because in emergency situations, you want to act immediately. You will receive assignments from the examiner, and you will be involved as a ZRZ exam candidate, either as a victim or as a helper for the person taking the exam. The examiner will determine this.
