Help fund local lifesavers without spending a penny!

How you can help fund a local lifesaving team, and it won't cost you a penny!

We all love doing things for charity and this season of giving you could help set up Wales only Surf Lifesaving GB Water Rescue Team without delving deep into your own bank account.

Dyfed Water Rescue Team is a new unit is being set up to respond to incidents of flooding across the UK as well as respond more locally to water based emergencies at inland water sites, supporting the existing emergency services by adding a third sector team of highly trained search and rescue professionals, funded entirely by voluntary donations.

The team is currently fundraising to support their set up and fund vital training and equipment needed to make their team members operational.

The team has been nominated by the Galaxy Hot Chocolate fund and needs votes to secure the funding.  So simply putting it, if you follow this link and vote, you will be helping the team raise the vital funds needed to get this essential unit up and running.

Thank you,

Festive posters from Rookies

This week our team were presented with this amazing festive lifesaving picture by two of our rookies.

Isn't it awesome?

Since summer, our rookies have been busy learning how to stay safe and how to help someone in difficulty in the water.  A fundamental part of this message was the SAFE code.  A simple anagram used to remember what you need to do to be safe around all bodies of water.

Spot the dangers - look for dangers and avoid them.

Advise taken - take advise from the lifegaurd, staff and signs.

Friends with you - always swim with someone else.

Emergency! Dial 999/112 for help

Festive SAFE code

Along with all the other vital water safety, lifesaving and self  rescue skills our education program promote this festive period we asked our 1 Formula Fitness Rookie Lifesavers to come up with their very own festive themed SAFE Code posters.

Bellows poster was submitted by Lilly, one of our 1 formula fitness rookie lifesavers. Well done Lilly.

It is our hope that this festive illustration will help promote the vital lifesaving message throughout this Christmas period so thank you for reading and please, share with your friends.
