RLSS UK are proud and excited to have been selected to host the Commonwealth Lifesaving Championships 11 - 13 July 2025, but we are relying on a fantastic team of dedicated volunteers to help us make the event a huge success! 

We will have opportunities across a range of areas, including administration, media, event support and operations. You don’t have to be a member of a lifesaving club – you just have to be eager, reliable and have a current RLSS UK Membership.

We are currently recruiting volunteers to form part of a Committee and are looking for applicants with the relevant skills and knowledge to perform the following roles:

Current roles available

• Event Organiser - to assist in the running of the event, including leisure time trips local to Swansea and Development Workshops
• Function Organiser - to assist in the organisation of the welcome and closing dinner functions 
• Presentations Management - to manage the Presentation of Medals ceremony
• Recording Management - to professionally manage a team of staff and volunteers to deliver a successful outcome, managing the entries and scoring system. Must have existing knowledge of Lifesaving Sport events and rules and hold the necessary equipment to record timings. A track record of delivering national or international swim meets would be desirable.
• Sports Coach - to join the Sports Action group with a view to support and deliver the strategy for Lifesaving Sport coaching in RLSS UK.

Please note: Entries for the Organising Committee close on 2 May 202

Volunteers are provided with a uniform, meals during shift, an accreditation pass, the opportunity to attend the closing ceremony, and of course memories that will last a lifetime!

Volunteer applications are open not only to those from the UK, but to overseas people too (however, no travel or accommodation subsidies are available).
