The RNLI is looking for this summer's lifeguards in East Sussex starting from the 7th of April until the 1st of October 2023, I'll copy the requirements below, but note that they "can help you gain the (vocational) qualifications you need" (RNLI).

Hold a National Vocational Beach Lifeguard Qualification (NVBLQ) or equivalent or ILS Beach/Surf Lifeguard qualification or equivalent. You can find out if your beach/surf lifeguard qualification is recognised on the ILS website.

• Take a health assessment (including an eyesight test) to ensure you are physically up to the job. This applies even if you've worked as an RNLI lifeguard before.
• Complete a 400m pool swim in under 7½ minutes, the first 200m of which must be completed in under 3½ minutes.
• Complete a 25m pool swim underwater and a 25m surface swim consecutively in under 50 seconds.
