RLSS UK Presents: Lifesaving Sport Explainer

The Royal Life Saving Society UK (RLSS UK) has launched this explainer video to educate the general public about the little-known sport of Lifesaving.

Filmed at the prestigious Loughborough University Swimming Pool, the new video features the 2023 England Team of Lifesaving Sport athletes. The video will provide viewers with more insight into Lifesaving Sport; the only sport in the world to have been born from humanitarian origins.

Originally developed to improve the physical and mental agility of lifeguards, Lifesaving Sport has grown into an international competitive swimming discipline that tests fitness, rescue and first aid skills. Although not widely known, Lifesaving Sport is recognised by the International Olympic Committee and the Commonwealth Games Federation.

As the National Governing Body for pool-based Lifesaving Sport, RLSS UK hopes that this new video will increase participation in the sport and attract new members to Lifesaving Clubs around the UK and Ireland.
