Water Safety Advice For Your Business

Royal Life Saving Society UK (RLSS UK) is proud to be the UK and Ireland's industry leader in water-related safety qualifications and training for aquatic, open water, and beach operators and be recognised worldwide as an expert in lifeguarding and water safety.

We work with an impressive list of national leisure operators and partners - from hotels, spas, and competition pools to leisure centres, aqua parks and open water venues and have supported many businesses and landowners in meeting their responsibilities to water safety. 

Our trusted brand gives peace of mind to businesses and the millions of people who access the facilities and sites we support.

Qualifications and Awards

Water safety training is essential for any business with employees working on, in, or near water. Every year, we certify more than 60,000 regulated qualifications and non-regulated vocational training awards, and more lifeguards qualify with RLSS UK than any other awarding body! 

Training 

We support many large organisations and businesses with more bespoke training needs - including the cruise and holiday industries. We can adapt 'off the shelf' RLSS UK qualifications and awards to provide a solution or create new, bespoke training products or packages tailored to your business.

Consultancy

We are experts at delivering clear and practical consultancy support to any business, organisation or individual with liabilities to visitors and staff around water. Our consultancy work is varied, and we cover a wide range of locations across the UK. For example, in 2023, we completed projects including water safety risk assessments for indoor pools and open water venues, local authorities and private landowners who own/manage bodies of water, as well as water safety audits on the coast. 

RLSS UK Shop

We are also at the forefront of supporting companies in manufacturing and distributing innovative and compliant lifesaving equipment, and the RLSS UK Shop offers official uniforms and training, first aid, and safety equipment for the leisure industry and beyond.

Assisted Lifeguard Technology to Enhance Swimming Pool Safety

For over thirty years, RLSS UK has been at the forefront of supporting pool operators with qualifications, guidance, consultancy, and expert training to meet evolving water safety challenges. With charity aims to ensure everyone can enjoy water safety, RLSS UK strives to help pool operators make swimming pools safe environments where people young and old can learn to stay safe in, on, or around water and to be able to swim.   

RLSS UK proudly embraces AI lifeguard technology to enhance pool safety and support lifeguards and operators. RLSS UK and GLL have supported Lynxight during a rigorous testing period to test AI lifeguard technology in UK swimming pools, meaning an innovative and affordable new risk management solution is now available in UK and Ireland swimming pools.   

Why install Lynxight Assisted Lifeguard Technology (ALT)? 

Affordable, intelligent, simple solution that allows you to make your pool safer

  • It's an affordable solution that allows more UK pool operators to benefit from technology. 
  • Installation is simple and very cost-effective.
  • It uses standard overhead security cameras and does not require underwater cameras.
  • It's installable without closing and draining the pool, damaging pool tiles, or investing in costly waterproofing; there is no downtime, no loss of revenue, and no impact on the public.
  • It offers easy maintenance and minimal impact on pool buildings.
  • It’s subtle and does not impact pool users.

Increases swimming pool safety 

  • It complements the highly skilled work of lifeguards and provides another layer of safety for pool users.
  • It uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) software and swimmer behaviour analysis to provide a complete real-time understanding of what is happening above and below the water surface.
  • It continuously monitors pool users and promptly alerts lifeguards via smartwatches about anyone needing assistance.
  • It supports lifeguards in quickly assessing situations and reacting appropriately.

Effective data collection for your pool operations

  • Currently, Lynxight is the only system available in the UK providing live and historical pool data via dashboards to optimise swimming pool operations, including pool usage and swimmer numbers.
  • It identifies new opportunities to understand pool use and generate revenue from activities in under-utilised spaces.
