What is Lifesaving...?
Lifesaving is not just first aid! Competitions involve entering two incidents known as SERCs (Simulated Emergency Response Competition), one dry and one wet, in which you must work as a team to prioritise casualties, treating them in the right order, using the correct technique to score as many points in the time given! There are also speed races, which are explained in further detail under "competitions".
We are a Royal Lifesaving Society (RLSS) approved training centre for lifesaving awards. British University Lifeaving Club Association (BULSCA) oversee competitive lifesaving between university clubs and run the annual student championships, which also includes special events.
Membership only costs £15 for the year and includes a free wetside t-shirt! Come and visit us at freshers fayre, or join online below (need to be logged in).
