Training takes place Tuesdays and Sundays all year round for seniors and graduate lifeguards, with additional sessions in the summer for Nippers on Saturday mornings and causal Friday night seniors sessions. We train in both lifeguarding skills such as prevention, patrolling, first aid and rescue as well as Surf Life Saving Sport.
We are recruiting adult volunteers to qualify and support the club as a coach and/or a lifeguard. To find out more, click on the link below.
Summer
Tuesday Evenings 6:30pm - 9pm
Fitness session for all club members. Training sessions are designed to make the most of the conditions. If it's flat we usually work on board, ski and swim, if there's surf we hone our board riding and racing skills.
Friday Evening
A casual session for senior (18+) club members only. Organised on a week to week basis. Perfect for people who want to relax after a tough week at work, have a social paddle and hang out at the beach.
Saturday Mornings 9am - 12pm
Nippers (7-12 year olds) are currently delivered in 2 age groups with a younger age group first followed by the older group.
Sundays - Beach 11am - 1pm
Water based session for Graduate Lifeguards (13 and over) working on both sport and rescue aspects we tailor the session to the environment.
Sunday Volunteer Lifeguard Patrols 9am - 6pm
From the May Bank holiday we begin our voluntary lifeguard patrols through to September. You don't have to be a lifeguard to help out and you don't have to volunteer all day. We make sure we get chance to train through the day as well. It's a great way to spend a day at the beach
