Episode 3 - Lauren Cooke

For our next episode, we meet Lauren Cooke – a lifeguard and full-time student from Yorkshire. Lauren joined as an RNLI lifeguard when she was 16 years old, and she shares how the job has helped her grow in confidence over the years, offered lots of future opportunities, and how the job really isn’t anything like Baywatch.

Summer may be over, but a lifeguard’s training is used all year round as Lauren discovered on a family holiday in 2018. She describes the story of the day she saved a life, when she rescued a baby from choking in a restaurant.
