LESSON RESOURCES

This website serves as a free lesson support system for your lifesaving classes
and water safety training. You may copy and share our content for educational
use if you quote us as source with a backlink. For your classes just print any
pages as handouts. The design is mobile friendly so you can use it in your
lessons if you have a waterproof device.

Survival Swimming teaches you the basic skills to stay alive in the water, so
you pose no danger to yourself or your team during aquatic activities. You'll be
able to survive in water for a prolonged period, perform tasks and negotiate
obstacles while in the water.

Lifesaving is a valuable community skill for everyone and more fun than swimming
up and down. Teaching lifesaving as a separate skill is outdated. It needs to
become an integrated part of all aquatic sports. Today most people are looking
for fun, or extreme sports, where they can explore their limits. Lifesaving and
survival swimming can offer this in a safe environment. We bring you training
materials that help you run realistic lifesaving and survival swimming lessons.
Let's keep lifesaving realistic.

FREE LIFESAVERS IN BRIGHTON ENGLAND






WELCOME TO OUR SURVIVAL SWIMMING AND FREE LIFESAVING TEAM IN BRIGHTON AND HOVE,
ENGLAND. WE BRING THE FUN BACK INTO BRIGHTON SWIMMING. CLUB COMMITTEES AND SILLY
RULES ARE A THING OF THE PAST.

We're not a club, just a loose bunch of swimmers, who meet in the morning, tide
and weather permitting. We welcome swimmers from all ethnic and social
minorities.

Everyone is encouraged to learn and develop valuable skills based on their
personal best in fitness, skills, leadership, and teamwork. Our training
includes personal survival, rescue skills, water safety, plus regular resistance
and endurance swim training. You set your own goals for your desired fitness
level.



REALISTIC SWIM TRAINING




SIMPLE TEAM RULES

Be nice to everyone, especially pool staff. We have no nannies, no membership,
no fees, no committees, no boss.

Minimum age is 18 years. You are responsible for yourself, your actions, and
your own personal safety.

Lifesaving training consists of the best elements from British, Dutch and German
lifesaving courses with a focus on realism rather than a rigid plan. It involves
some theory and lots of practice in the water.

Survival swimming sessions are based on the Dutch "Zwem ABC", which provides the
best introduction into aquatic survival we have found so far. We've added a few
bits to make it more fun and more challenging.

Survival swimming and lifesaving is all about being prepared for the unexpected.
You may not have the opportunity to change into your surf shorts when
an emergency arises.

Therefore, we swim in clothes to prepare for this with realistic training,
something most clubs overlook. Being prepared can save lives. Give it a try
sometime. It is terrific fun. You'll be amazed. If you don't have some of the
gear needed, let us know and we may be able to lend you some survival
swimming kit.




STAY HYDRATED AND NOURISHED

During our training we hydrate properly to keep performance levels up. This is
important to keep performance levels at their best.

Afterwards we enjoy a yummy big Herbalife 24 protein shake to rebuild muscles
and get strong. Get your nutrition here!
