CBBC’s new TV show Hero Squad is essential viewing for children who dream of going to the rescue one day. Three of the episodes focus on what it’s like to be an RNLI lifesaver.

A group of 12–14-year-olds came to RNLI College in April, along with Presenter Rav Wilding. They were the youngest people ever to go through lifeboat capsize training in our survival pool. They also had lifeguard training on the beach and went aboard a Severn class lifeboat for a rescue simulation exercise.
