What is Team GBR:

Team GBR Lifesaving are the group of athletes selected to compete at European and World Championship competitions.

Under ILS rules, a nation can only enter one team at the World Lifesaving Championships and European Lifesaving Championships. GBR Lifesaving is managed by a partnership between SLSGB and RLSS UK.

Team GBR athletes are selected through a transparent declaration process (see below) and attendance at a Selection Trial. The results from the trial, along with declared results from eligible events, are submitted by Team GBR Managers to the SLSGB and RLSS UK Performance Directors for scrutiny and a team of athletes is agreed.

All correspondence for athletes who are declaring their availability and eligibility for Team GBR should be submitted in writing through this form, and any questions submitted to [email protected] All questions will be answered to the best of our ability at the earliest opportunity.
