ABOUT US
Our Mission
Prevention of drowning is our mission and we seek to achieve this by equipping our members with the knowledge and skills to enable them to keep both themselves and others safe in and around water.
What we do
Potters Bar Life Saving Club delivers training to children through the RLSS Rookie Lifeguard Programme for children under 12 and through RLSS Survive and Save Programme for children of 12 and above. For adults the club provides the vocational qualifications, First Aid at Work and Open Water Lifeguard qualifications, and through collaboration with other clubs, National Pool Lifeguard Qualification.
Why choose lifesaving?
Lifesaving is one of the few activities that provides both the physical and mental benefits of sport and physical activity, while teaching a life skill that is not only enriching, but can save lives.
- Develop a range of skills including resilience, communication, teamwork and commitment.
- Gain RLSS awards and qualifications through the Rookie Lifeguard and Medallion Program
- The start of many careers usually begins with lifeguarding but often develops into careers in leisure and the emergency services
- Opportunities to explore and try different activities in the pool and at our lake and beach days
- Make friends and build relationships
- Volunteering opportunities
Developing confidence and competence in the water opens up a lifetime of aquatic and outdoor activities.
