The Royal Life Saving Society UK (RLSS UK) is the drowning prevention charity and the UK’s leading provider of water safety and drowning prevention education. Around 400 people needlessly die from drowning in the UK every year and thousands more suffer injury, some life-changing, through near-drowning experiences. Putting these figures into context one person dies every 20 hours in the UK and drowning is the third highest cause of accidental death of children in the UK. The RLSS UK have built up years of experience and are proud to boast a strong force of loyal members and volunteers who work with them to promote water safety and educate in lifesaving skills. They were established back in 1891 as the Life Saving Society, and in the early 1900s, with support from the Royal family, were granted permission to adopt the ‘Royal’ to their title. The charity has used their extensive knowledge of water safety and training to develop a comprehensive range of vocational qualifications and a series of awards and programmes which have the ultimate aim of preventing drowning and stopping unnecessary loss of life – including the National Pool Lifeguard Qualification (NPLQ), the premier lifeguard training programme. Their core purpose is to prevent drowning and they aim to deliver a year-on-year reduction in the rate of British and Irish citizens drowning.
