WELCOME TO

WATERGATE BAY SURF LIFE SAVING CLUB

Watergate Bay SLSC provides high quality Surf Lifesaving, swimming, ocean and beach training to children aged 5 upwards.

Our Nippers (7-13) and Youth (14+) benefit from a wide range of activities including RNLI, Coastguard and SAS Education, First Aid courses, and fitness and strength training all with highly qualified coaches.

Our aim is to provide the lifeguards of tomorrow with training to help keep themselves and others safe whilst enjoying our wonderful beaches – and know what to do if an emergency arose!

TRAINING

Our Surf Life Saving club training is split into Summer and Winter seasons.

Our summer training is beach based and runs from May – September and is carried out on Watergate Bay Beach, Tuesdays and Thursday evenings

Our Winter training for Youth and Nippers is pool based and runs from October – April at Waterworld Newquay on Sunday evenings.

Children are required to swim a minimum of 100m front crawl to a good standard to join us.

During training children will learn how to keep themselves and others safe on the beach and in the sea.

The older Nippers can perform rescues and first aid and all Nippers are working towards their Life Saving Pathways leading up to their Graduate Lifeguard.

We have a Sandhoppers section to the club which is for children 5-7 and is beach based through the summer months May to September.  

This group learn about the beach environment and sea through fun games, but must be accompanied by a parent helper at all sessions.
