Polzeath Surf Lifesaving

Polzeath Surf Lifesaving Club

We are back on the beach hoping for the Perfect Summer for the members of Polzeath Surf Life Saving Club What a 16 months for the club it has been, we have managed to train for only 3 months which has been weird for all members. We made the best of lockdowns with 7 members taking and passing the surf lifesaving GB Level 1 course to help train our younger members, all our lifeguards and coaches did their yearly updates along with their proficiencies. As a committee and club we would like to thank the Link magazine for their support with a donation to help make all that happen. It’s great to have our members back on the beach training now and as a club we hope to give our members a perfect summer of training. At the moment we have the nippers aged 6-13 on Sunday morning along with our Juniors aged 14-19 so we will have on average 90 children training every Sunday, then on a Friday night our open/masters aged 20 to 68 train. Polzeath Surf Lifesaving Club promotes an active, healthy lifestyle for its members. Friendships are formed, skills are developed and fun is had on the way. The club aims to develop lifeguards of the future and teaches its members the correct skill sets to be safe in the water – vital for where we live. This year we have 10 members from the club employed by the RNLI as lifeguards on our local

beaches. Not only is this a fabulous experience for those involved, it also inspires our younger members to stay involved, to train hard and achieve. The high quality of training our members receive from our volunteer coaches and the commitment of our members to do their very best makes this community club what it is today. Due to the pandemic, we have not been able to do our normal fundraising, so we are grateful for donations we have received from groups like the Link and a couple of grants we have received from different organisations to help the club keep running in these weird times. Every little helps us as a club, so if you or your business would like information on our Community Partners of Polzeath Surf Life Saving Club please contact the club at info@polzeathslsc.co.uk There is a level to suit everyone. Please help Polzeath Surf Life Saving Club to keep up the high standards it delivers, to expand and allow more people to come and join this very special community club. We’ll see you on the beach!
