Open Water Events

Keynsham Life Saving Club are really excited to be running a series of open-water training sessions and an open-water festival – and we’d love you to join us! We’re pleased to be able to open these events up to lifesavers from all local clubs. No previous open-water lifesaving experience is required to take part.

Open Water Training
This is a great chance to put your lifesaving skills to the test in a real-life environment, supervised by our experienced team of instructors. You’ll learn how to spot hazards and stay safe in open water, and we’ll teach you communication skills and hand-signals. You’ll also have the opportunity to use specialised rescue equipment such as throw-bags and paddle boards.

    Date:        1st, 8th and 15th July 2018
    Time:        6-8pm
    Venue:    Bristol Avon Sailing Club, Mead Lane, Saltford, Bristol, BS31 3ER
    Cost:        FREE for KLSC members, £5/session for visitors from other clubs

Open Water Festival
A fun and sociable way to finish-off the term! Teams of two will take part in a number of lifesaving challenges (including a run, a swim, rope throws, rescue board relays, CPR, and more)! You can complete each challenge as many times as you like in a bid to improve your scores. This is a very informal event with the focus firmly on having fun. If the weather is fine, we plan to round things off with a BBQ and prize ceremony for the winning pair (plus loads of “spot” prizes for attitude and effort)!
