Royal Life Saving Society UK

The RLSS is part of Royal Lifesaving Society Commonwealth,[2] and the International Life Saving Federation.

There are over 170 lifesaving clubs based throughout the UK and Ireland,[3] which teach skills such as drowning prevention, life support and personal survival.

Often clubs coach their members towards achieving RLSS UK awards as part of the Survive & Save Programme.

Some lifesaving and lifeguard clubs operate as volunteer organisations, providing safety cover at locations where there would otherwise be none.

Young people also have the opportunity to use their lifesaving skills in a competitive environment through the Sport Section of the Society.
