We are The National Charity that trains and supports volunteers to save life and prevent drowning in open water.
Through our Club communities of highly trained volunteer lifesavers, we help to make beaches safer. Our most experienced lifesavers form voluntary Beach Patrols and Inshore Rescue Boat Teams declared to the Coast Guard, assist the Police with missing person searches and are members of our fast water Flood Rescue Teams.
Our Surf Lifesaving Clubs educate young people starting at age 7 to keep themselves safe and to help others in difficulty. Advanced open water swimming and rescue skills together with learning about and resolving risks, teamwork and knowing how to save a life are enabling, never forgotten, life changing achievements.
Our Club volunteer Trainers deliver over 4,000 Surf Lifesaving awards each year.
Our Beach, Lifesaver and Surf Lifeguard training is to the highest National Vocational standards.
Our Clubs are centres of lifesaving excellence open to all, across all age, gender and social networks, together enjoying the beach and the ocean.
Our lifesaving community welcome all to the fitness, fun and thrill of knowing how to be at one and in total control with the elements.
Everything we do is to be the best that we can for the benefit and safety of the communities that we serve.
Whilst delivering and instilling water safety and prevention of drowning across all age groups, these activities help nurture an ethos centred around community engagement and support.
We are also proud to have a number of organisations supporting the work we do including; South West Water, Fisher Foundation, Awards4All, Scottish Electric.
