"Water has played a big role in my life and that is why I have chosen to leave a gift to RLSS UK in my Will – so that future generations can also enjoy water safely. It’s an added bonus that I have become one of the ﬁrst 1891 Life Fellows. I’m delighted – it genuinely has made my day!"

Keith Bowden - 1891 Life Fellow

So that we can invite you to join the 1891 Society, we will send you a Pledge Form, letting us know, in complete confidence, about your legacy and your wishes. Indicating your support on this form is encouraging to RLSS UK but it has no legal consequences. It does not limit your freedom to alter your will in the future and is simply a statement of your present intentions.

"Having been involved in Lifesaving for over 20 years, I have chosen to leave a gift to RLSS UK in my Will to help future generations to enjoy water safely. I feel like I am now in a ﬁnancially stable position to help others in the future."

Antony Coia - Secretary Open Water Rescue

Cold Water Shock – the Facts

The term ‘cold water shock’ refers to a range of natural reactions that our bodies take to protect us when we enter cold water (although these reactions can sometimes work against us).
