Lifesaving as a sport consists of two parts; one where your first aid, teamwork and emergency skills are tested, and one where you swim competitively in rescue style races. 

We take part in numerous competitions across UK universities, including our very own competition. We encourage EVERYONE to attend regardless of abilities and welcome competitive individuals and have plenty of roles and activities for non-competitive members as well. 

Competitions consist of 'dry' first aid scenario, where your team of 4 has 2 minutes to effectively treat injured casualties. The 'wet' scenario requires you to perform both first aid and lifesaving techniques to rescue casualties from the pool. Both of these are judged. 

Secondly, we have a number of pool races, including rope throw, swim & tow, manikin carry, swimming with fins etc. These test your speed in the water and lifesaving performance. 

If you are intrigued and want to know more, drop as an Facebook message, Instagram DM or email us. No experience necessary!
