ActiveCV
Poolsafe® assessors use the New Zealand Register of Recreation Professionals (NZRRP) to verify lifeguard qualifications.
To ensure your lifeguard's qualifications can be verified:
- Register your facility on ActiveCV
- Link your lifeguards to your facility.
Please note: Poolsafe® is awarded to individual facilities. This means each facility needs its own unique account. Lifeguards can link to many facilities, if they work at more than one.
