Abstract
The purpose was to measure the scientific knowledge outcome of the participants in the swimming lifeguard courses, as well as to identify the differences in the knowledge outcome between the lifeguards according to the variables (age, gender, scientific qualification). The study sample consisted of the participants in swimming lifeguard courses, which numbered (30) lifeguard. Method: The researcher used the descriptive approach used cognitive tests for lifeguards to measure the cognitive outcome of them, the cognitive test consisted of (25) questions included the following dimensions :(tasks and duties of the lifeguard, causes and manifestations of drowning, organization, and management of the rescue process, first aid. Results: the cognitive outcome of lifeguard's courses is at a weak level and for all areas of study, the results also indicated that there are statistically significant differences for the cognitive outcome among the lifeguards, in favour of females, also, it was found that there were no statistically significant differences of the knowledge outcome among the lifeguards. Conclusion: The researcher recommends focusing on the theoretical aspect in the lifeguard courses held by the Youth Leadership Development Centre.
