Christchurch Life Saving Club
Who we are
Description
Christchurch Life Saving Club was founded in April 1970 and provided a lifeguard and first aid service to beach users for a number of years. We are based at Friars Cliff Beach in Christchurch. Throughout the summer, the Juniors and Seniors work towards gaining the skills necessary to achieve the SLSGB Surf Lifeguard Award whilst the Nippers work towards the SLSGB National Surf Safety Awards. During the winter, we move to the swimming pool & we train for Surf Lifesaving Sport. Various competitions take place regularly throughout the year, some run by the Poole, Bournemouth and Christchurch. We pride ourselves on having a positive impact within our local community and are often finding ways to raise money for other local charities, not just our own, as well as working closely with the RNLI lifeguards who patrol on our beach throughout the summer. Our members benefit from the close-knit family feel that has been developed over almost 50 years.
