Welcome to the NEW Lifesaving Sports Area, this area has been set up to help you easily navigate everything lifesaving sport related!
The Royal Life Saving Society UK is a National Governing Body for Lifesaving Sport - a sport recognised by the International Olympic Committee and the Commonwealth Games Federation.
Our aim is to provide an inclusive range of opportunities to increase participation in lifesaving activities.
We recognise the importance of equipping as many people as possible with valuable lifesaving skills to help save as many lives as possible and to help reduce the drowning toll in the UK.
It was great to see competitors, clubs and volunteers from across our Society coming together for this prestigious event. The pandemic influenced all our lives, but we were able to get back to Lifesaving Sport at the end of 2021 for a highly successful Lifesaving Sport Challenge competition in Leeds and this was continued for the National Speed Championships in March this year.
