About Us. Why choose your lifeguard training with ORCA?

Towan Beach Newquay

ORCA was started in 2023, through a deep passion for all water sports, stemming from 20+ years of surfing and 10+ years of coaching and lifeguard training around the world.

Our expertise and love for the water drives us to equip others with essential lifesaving skills and confidence in aquatic environments.

Based in Newquay, Cornwall, the surf capital of the UK, we could not be in a more perfect location to give you the best course experience possible!

“Last week I completed the NVBLQ Lifeguard course with Henry. It was such a good experience! Henry is a great trainer and was super supportive throughout. I feel that I learned a lot and now feel very confident going forward and applying for the RLNI!”
