Welcome to our website.  Most of our visitors are already members of the Society and are looking for detailed information or contacts - based on their feedback this website is intended to make things easy for them.  We apologise if you are a member of the public keen to find out more about lifesaving and find this site a little intense!  DON'T WORRY - (Click Here)!

If you have a particular place that you are interested in, say Epsom, then do a search (CTRL-F) and you should find what you are after.  If this doesn't work, or you are interested in something else, or have any other enquiry, simply contact the two Branch Life Saving Coordinators - Alison and Dave - whose details are in the column on the left.

Best wishes
