Life Saving is a way of life!

Lifesaving is at the heart of what we do, with the principal objectives to make safer beaches, educate communities and ultimately to save lives.

Surf Life Saving GB's life saving qualifications are recognised nationally and internationally, and are a qualification of preference for many employees and volunteers of the RNLI Lifeguard Service. Simply First Aid is proud to be able to offer these qualifications and support the work that Surf Life Saving GB does through it's clubs.

Surf Life Saving really does have something for everyone. Isn't it time, you joined in?

There is something for everyone!

The SLSGB Beach Lifeguard Award is the top lifeguard award nationally, recognised internationally for beach lifeguards and is the preferred beach lifeguard qualification taken by RNLI Beach Lifeguards.

There are many different types of qualifications to take for people of all ages and abilities. For us, the opportunity for people to gain a qualification and making them a surf life saver is vital to our community and beaches.

Our qualifications cover a range of disciplines, for example

  • Basic competency awards

  • Emergency First Aid

  • Beach Lifeguard Support

  • Professional Beach Lifeguard

  • Commercial awards such as Surf Coach and Coasteering

The awards and qualifications cover a wide range of life guarding, surf life saving and life support skills and there is something to suit everyone at every age.
