The club has been working hard to provide an opportunity for those who are interested in trying out Lifesaving Sport this season with an ability to do so. What does lifesaving sport look like many of you may ask? Lifesaving Sport is a wonderful sport. It helps to increase water safety awareness, it is an excellent way for those younger or older to improve their athletic conditioning as well as their lifesaving skills, the Lifesaving Sport community is so welcoming, and all of the events (especially the relays) are incredibly fun!!!

Additionally, below are two short videos that will help give you or your athletes a sense of what the sports includes both on the beach and in the pool which the club is planning to incorporate further into our provided programming this 2022-2023 season.
