Interested in lifesaving competitions, but don’t know where to start? Or maybe you’re an experienced competitor who wants to improve your technique? Either way, the RLSS West Region lifesaving sport training session is for you!
Join David Fielding (world lifesaving championships silver medallist, and producer of the Lifesaving Sport DVD) as he takes you through the skills required for the following events (see www.ilsf.org/lifesaving-sport/disciplines for a summary of what each event involves): 100m Manikin Carry With Fins, 50m Manikin Carry, Rescue Medley, Line Throw, Super Lifesaver, Rescue Medley.
You don’t need to be the world’s best swimmer, but you should be able to comfortably swim 200m (8 lengths of a 25m pool) without a break. The training is open to all lifesavers aged 14+. During the training you will receive individual feedback to help you improve your technique. We’re also hoping to use an underwater camera as a teaching aid to help you refine your skills.
The training is being held in Bath University’s 50m Pool. Please park in the East car park unless “Lifesaving Training” signs direct you elsewhere on the day. We will be meeting in the Sports Centre Concourse at 2pm (see www.bath.ac.uk/maps) and the session will finish at 5:30pm.
You will need to bring your swimming costume, goggles, swim hat, towel and rubber fins/flippers (see www.tinyurl.com/buying-fins for advice on buying fins if you don’t own any). You’ll also need to bring a warm jumper to wear on poolside and water or a sports drink to sip whilst you swim to keep hydrated. You may want to bring a snack for after training, but please ensure that you eat lunch before you arrive. Finally, please do not wear any jewellery or bring any valuables with you.
If you’d like to take part in this training session, please complete and return the application form (see link below). Remember to include a cheque for £12 made payable to The Royal Lifesaving Society. Places are limited and will be allocated on a first-come first-served basis.
