Now that swimming pools are closed the threat to our charity that provides so much joy to so many of us is very real and we need your help to pull through it. Our motto has never been so poignant “Whomsoever you see in distress, recognise in them a fellow human being.”
Because every life is worth saving

Every year RLSS charity activity reduces the number of drownings. These drowning affect people who were in, on and near water across all parts of UK & Ireland. Loved ones are lost unnecessarily.
