North Sea Volunteer Lifeguards

North Sea Volunteer Lifeguards (commonly abbreviated to NSVL) is a volunteer lifeguard club based in Tynemouth, North Tyneside, Tyne and Wear, England.

It was founded in 1998, and has since become one of the largest lifeguard clubs in the UK with over 250 members from age 6 to 66.

It offers the full range of Royal Life Saving Society UK programmes and awards, and also some programmes affiliated to other organisations, such as the Heartstart programme which is co-ordinated by the British Heart Foundation.

The club has regular training sessions throughout the year, training in the North Sea from its headquarters on Tynemouth Longsands and also at Tynemouth Pool.

NSVL is run by a committee of 10 club members, who are elected at the Annual General Meeting.
