Over ten life guards and pool attendants from the Sunbird group hotels on Saturday graduated from a week-long life saving and diving refresher course offered by the Malawi Defence Force in Mangochi.<\/p>\n
Sunbird Group Human Resources Manager, Edward Chunga, said the firm is committed to ensuring maximum safety of people using its swimming pools as well as beaches.<\/p>\n
Chunga said this is why the firm has over the past eight years been organising refresher courses for its life guards and pool attendants.<\/p>\n
He was, however, quick to point out that despite boasting of highly trained life guards, visitors need to exercise caution when using the pools and beaches.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat we are saying is that, the responsibility of taking care of one\u2019s life, rest in the hands of the individuals involved.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe can do our part, but to an extent. So we urge our visitors to exercise caution when using the swimming pools and beaches,\u201d said Chunga.<\/p>\n
Among other things, Chunga advised the swimmers to use life jackets to ensure their safety and security.<\/p>\n
Commanding Officer for the MDF Marine Unit Major Peterson Mhone underscored the importance of hospitality units to have highly trained life guards and pool attendants.<\/p>\n
Mhone said highly skilled life guards would help reduce cases of drowning in pools and beaches.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
