Southerndown S.L.S.C.- Patron: Earl of Dunraven.
Welcome. Another year on and we are all still smiling at Southerndown Surf Lifesaving Club.
Our reputation as a friendly, enthusiastic club seems to have attracted lots of new members this year. I hope you all enjoy our new training regime, which promotes high standards in all aspects of lifesaving and life guarding and a whole lot of fun as well!
Vigilance and Service is the lifesaving motto, here at Southerndown we aim to provide the highest Standard of training to ensure we continue to provide confident and enthusiastic beach and pool lifeguards. Congratulations to everyone who qualified this year and well done to all our instructors- a job very well done. Our new theory and practical training is obviously working extremely well and you should be proud.

This years patrolling and coaching certificates proved popular. And showed what a dedicated team of lifeguards we have here at Southerndown. Patrolling allows us to show the public exactly why we train, and is a way of giving something back to the community. After all, the reason the club exists is to provide the knowledge and training required to help people become lifeguards and lifesavers, promoting good practice and helping the public to remain safe on our beaches.
This year we have also been encouraging the more competitive members with our new competition training. Ski training, board training and running club now run all year round. We have great fun and the results speak quite plainly for themselves! Over the winter we will also be introducing Still Water Competition training twice a month. I'm thankful to everyone who has helped me run these sessions and to all who've turned up- keep up the good work. Competitions are fun and a chance to get together with other clubs all over GB.
