We are a national charity and the leader in lifesaving and lifeguarding training across the UK and Ireland. 

In sharing our expertise and knowledge with as many people as possible, we give everyone the potential to save lives and #enjoywatersafely. 

We deliver national #watersafety campaigns and our 50+ volunteer branches help us enhance communities so everyone can enjoy being in, on, or near water safely - because every life is worth saving. Our vision is nations without drowning.

We are the Avon and North Wiltshire Branch, covering a wide area following along the River Avon from the Bristol Channel to Swindon.

The Branch has a number of active Lifesaving clubs covering all ages. For more information on Clubs in Avon and North Wiltshire, please see the Clubs page.

The Branch contains a Branch Committee who meet regularly to discuss issues relating to Lifesaving in the local area. The Branch co-ordinates and assists in running a number of events including Save A Baby’s Life courses and an annual Rookie Festival. For the most up-to-date events information, see the Events page.

A number of local volunteers form the Avon and North Wiltshire Branch Committee and are dedicated to promoting Lifesaving to all. The Branch assists both established and new Clubs by providing resources such as personnel and equipment. For more information on the Branch Committee and what their roles are, or if you are interested in applying for a vacant role, see the Branch Committee page.
