Beach work is very much the ‘business end’  of Portsmouth and Southsea Voluntary Lifeguards activities where the focus of Beach Training is the RLSS Beach Lifeguard Qualification as part of an ongoing programme of maintaining and developing Lifeguard competencies.

The basic skills and training developed within the pool environment are taken to the beach, in this case Southsea Seafront where these are applied to real situations as part of our Lifeguarding role. This role brings our members directly in to contact with members of the public, adding another dimension to Lifeguarding. Training is carried out under real conditions but with close supervision from more senior, qualified Lifeguards in the overall development of individual potential Lifeguards. Additional training is carried out, on training night, to give all the chance to try or practice Lifeguarding skills not normally used, or, which need to be developed.

A major part of lifeguarding is local knowledge, where it will be essential for potential Lifeguards to have an in depth awareness of their local environment. This will be developed under our Beach Training scheme, where it will be equally important to assist in rescue situation as it will be in the provision of preventative lifeguarding.
