About our cause

Dawlish Warren Life Saving Club is a registered charity (1041428) that operates at Dawlish Warren beach in South Devon. First formed in 1966, we are a small but longstanding club that provides an ideal setting for likeminded individuals to learn new skills, train, patrol the beach, get involved in lifesaving sport, teach others or just a place by the beach to socially enjoy.

DWLSC is Affiliated with a governing body; The Royal Life Saving Society (RLSS).

Our charitable objectives include:

·To teach child members ages 8-16 basic open water skills, increase their awareness of dangers and build confidence within the beach environment in a fun, supportive, safe manner.

·To teach members aged 16+ advanced open water skills and first aid skills needed to undertake internationally recognized lifeguard qualifications including the National Vocational Beach Lifeguard Qualification (NVBLQ).

·To raise public awareness of beach safety.

·To lifeguard Dawlish Warren beach throughout the summer independently, and alongside the Royal National Lifeboat Institute (RNLI) lifeguards.

·Encourage participation of lifesaving sport and support good sportsmanship above all.

·Provide a friendly, open, safe welcoming atmosphere within the club.

·To be intrinsic and active part of the local community, supporting it as much as possible. 

Rookie Lifeguard Programme

Ages 7-15: 

-Children who join the club can participate in the RLSS UK’s Rookie Lifeguard program which gives your child the skills they need to be confident in the sea, teaching children to swim and enjoy the water safely both on the shore or deeper water.
