It is the Royal Life Saving Society UK (RLSS UK)'s purpose to enhance
communities, so everyone can enjoy being in, on and around water, safely;
because every life is worth saving. Our work is vital in every city, town,
community and home. RLSS UK has a proud history of helping to save the number of
lives lost to drowning. Our mission is to be the leader in lifesaving and
lifeguarding in the UK and Republic of Ireland. Sharing, our expertise and
knowledge with as many people as possible, giving everyone the potential to save
lives and enjoy water, safely. Here, at the RLSS UK, we have an impressive
heritage. We have built up years of experience and, we are honoured, to boast a
strong force of loyal members and volunteers who work with us to promote water
safety and educate in life saving skills. Our roots were established back in
1891 as the Life Saving Society, and, in the early 1900s, with support from the
Royal Family, we were granted permission to adopt the ‘Royal’ to our title – a
badge that we are still immensely proud of today. We have used our extensive,
world-leading knowledge of water safety and training to develop a comprehensive
range of vocational qualifications and a series of awards and education
programmes which all have the ultimate aim of preventing drowning and stopping
unnecessary loss of life. Our portfolio includes the National Pool Lifeguard
Qualification (NPLQ) - the premier lifeguard training programme.
