“Courage is the virtue that makes all other virtues possible” is the motto that so aptly captures the spirit of the Salvalife Academy. A passion for swimming and the aquatic environment must be paired with a dose of boldness to face situations where others need help, and our partner Salvalife.ro offers, on top of that, something essential to the heroes of tomorrow: the knowledge and techniques that allow them to always stay in control.
The Salvalife Academy – founded in 2014 – is the first lifeguard academy in Bucharest and the only one in the capital certified and recognized by the Ministry of Education and the National Certification Authority. The academy’s trainers have received specialized training in Greece, Portugal, Australia, and Romania – countries that manage extensive coastal areas along the Mediterranean Sea, the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, and the Black Sea.
Over the years, lifeguards trained at the Salvalife Academy have gone on to join the large teams of lifeguards at Romania’s largest water park – Divertiland Water Park – ensuring the safety of our visitors in a thoroughly professional and efficient manner.
At the Salvalife Academy, those who wish to obtain certification to become lifeguards or simply become excellent swimmers can choose between the classic swimming module and the module dedicated to victim rescue techniques, first aid courses, and self-rescue courses. Upon completion of the courses, graduates will receive a lifetime lifeguard certification that is recognized both nationally and internationally.
To date, our partner SALVALIFE has trained over 450 lifeguards. The lifeguard team at Divertiland Water Park is made up of specialized trainers – lifeguards who have chosen this profession out of passion and a sense of responsibility. Leading the team is Christos Argiropoulos, a lifeguard certified in Greece, including for open-water rescue. He has over 17 years of experience as an instructor and lifeguard for both pools and the open sea, and has completed countless advanced training courses in Greece and Australia at one of the world’s most renowned lifeguard clubs, located in Brisbane on the Gold Coast.
