Welcome

Welcome to our website, which we hope you'll find informative.

The club was founded in 1982 and aims to provide

• lifesaving skills
• water safety
• life support tuition

We aim to provide these at an examination standard, and to participate in competitive lifesaving. The club is run and taught by volunteers. As such it is a Registered Club affiliated to 'Lifesavers' -The Royal Life Saving Society UK.(RLSS)

Venue

We meet at The Pavilions In The Park Leisure Complex, Horsham.  General tuition by the Clubs voluntary trainers and teachers takes place on a Thursday evening for both adults and students.  During the summer months, we switch our venue to Southwater Lake, this gives members an opportunity to experience lifesaving in open water.

Course’s and Objectives

The primary objective is to teach participants lifesaving and life support skills. These are consistent with a standard to pass the basic Life Support and Bronze Medallion examinations of the RLSS.

A minimum age of 13 (or nearing) normally applies to participants but please do bear in mind our finishing time if young people are expressing interest.

Once members have successfully completed Life Support and Bronze Medallion they often go on to achieve higher awards.  The club normally passes over 100 successful exams each year, and has produced the highest number of Distinction exam passes in Sussex Branch each year, for a number of years.

Competitions

We hold an internal club competition every year, for all of the club members to participate in.  As well as this, members are actively encouraged to compete in competitions against other clubs from and around the Sussex area.

Presentations

We have a formal Presentation Evening with a Guest of Honour each January, when all the awards and competition successes from the previous year are formally recognised.
