The Brownsea Island Swim is RLSS Poole Lifeguard's main fund raising event and our primary source of funding.
As a registered charity / non profit club, we would really appreciate it if you could support RLSS Poole Lifeguard, who organise the Brownsea Swim. We have been providing invaluable training in Lifesaving, First Aid and Resuscitation skills along with core life skills to our members and since 1975. Any donations received will enable us to continue, as a community club, teaching vital lifesaving skills to your 'Lifeguards' of the future.
We are, an entirely voluntary club whose aim is to provide safety cover at a number of open water swimming events (including Brownsea Swim), sailing and canoeing events as well as safety cover at sponsored swims, swimming galas and other similar events throughout the year. The Club operates an inshore rescue boat; named ‘Legacy!’ and a low powered craft named ‘Apollo’; both based at Sandbanks. In addition, we have a large number of paddle craft..
Members are encouraged to participate in our safety cover activities and to take RLSS lifesaving and lifeguard qualifications. Our members are trained to be capable of taking individual rescue action or work as a team when the occasion demands.
many thanks in advance :-)
