About Us

Welcome to Swansea Uni's Lifesaving Team!🛟🦢

~ The only university lifesaving club in Wales ~

Swansea Lifesaving Team is a sports club that is open to all abilities, whether it's your first time or your 100ᵗʰ time lifesaving, or you're in first year or third year! From keeping up fitness, learning new life skills, working towards competitions or just having a bit of fun, we are the club that does it all! We have regular first aid training sessions and hope to utilise our great location in Swansea Bay by putting on beach sessions throughout the year! As well as this, we have swim sessions twice a week, which aim to help improve your swimming ability or provide you with competitive swim training.

Mae tîm achub bywyd Abertawe yn agored i bawb gwaeth beth fo'ch gallu, pe bai eich tro gyntaf neu eich 100fed tro, nid oes ots os ydych yn eich blwyddyn 1af neu flwyddyn olaf. Rydym yn gynnig cyfleoedd i chi gwella ar eich ffitrwydd, dysgu sgiliau newydd, gweithio tuag at gystadlu mewn cyfres o gystadlaethau, neu gallwch ymuno er mwyn cael hwyl a chymdeithasu. Rydym yn cyflawni hyfforddiant cymorth cyntaf a sesiynau nofio yn rheolaidd ac rydym yn gobeithio defnyddio ein lleoliad unigryw i gynnig sesiynau ffitrwydd ar y traeth trwy'r flwyddyn.

❓Frequently Asked Questions:

Cwestiynau Cyffredin:

Do I need a Lifesaving qualification?

No, no prior Lifesaving experience is required. Anyone of any Lifesaving ability is encouraged to join us!

What do I need to bring?

Swimwear, goggles, swim hat (not essential), a towel, and a drink! For some sessions, you may need clothes (pyjamas etc.) you don't mind getting wet (we will let you know beforehand)!

Where do you train?

For our Dryside session on Tuesdays at 7:30pm, we meet up in Fulton House on Singleton Campus in Seminar Rm 1. After this session we take a 10 minute walk through the hospital grounds to the Wales National Pool.

On Sundays we meet at the pool at 6:30pm.

To get to Singleton from Bay Campus, take any of the 91 / N91 or 92 / N92 busses which all terminate by the grassy area outside Fulton House. To go straight to the pool, either go to Singleton on the 92 and take a short walk through the hospital, or get the 91 and get off on Sketty Lane just before the traffic lights by the hospital and then cross the road.

What trips do you run?

We participate in multiple University Lifesaving League competitions throughout the year. These consist of a weekend away at another university competing in the daytime followed by a social in the evening. This year we are also looking at going to visit other lifesaving clubs around the UK!

What qualifications do you offer?

As we are a university sports team, we unfortunately don't offer any formal lifesaving qualifications (NPLQ etc.). However, we can award RLSS Survive and Save certificates!
