RLSS UK survive and save programme
Take on a new challenge join us every week
RLSS UK Survive & Save Programme is the lifesaving awards programme for teens and adults (12years+). The awards are challenging but fun to complete and they are arranged into Bronze, Silver, and Gold levels to ensure that you continue to develop your lifesaving skills as you progress through the awards.
The awards teach lifesaving rescue, self-rescue, survival, and lifesaving sport skills, and also develop swimming ability and fitness.
There are four award areas to achieve, the Medallion Awards, the Beach Awards, the Stillwater Awards and the Sport Awards, and you can choose to specialise in one area or learn a brauder range of skills by completing multiple awards.
The highest achievement in the Survive & Save Programme is the Distinction Award, which is awarded by the Royal Life Saving Society UK to those who achieve 3 Gold Level awards within a 24 month period.
