Lifesaving

WELCOME TO THE LOUGHBOROUGH STUDENTS LIFESAVING CLUB WEBSITE!

What is lifesaving Sport?

Lifesaving sport was primarily intended to encourage lifeguards to develop, maintain and improve the essential physical and mental skills needed to save lives in the aquatic environment. It has developed into a national competitive swimming discipline. Lifesaving competitions consist of a variety of swimming and first aid skills to further develop and demonstrate lifesaving skills, fitness and motivation at a competitive level.

“Lifesaving sport is possibly the most demanding multi-discipline sport that exists in the world today. Connected so closely with the noble act of lifesaving, speed lifesaving offers enjoyment, challenges and learning to all ages and abilities” - RLSS 2006
