The club meets on Friday evenings at Summerfields Leisure Centre, Hastings from 8pm to 10pm. The club provides training for all of the Royal Life Saving Society UK awards from Rookie upwards. Pool and Beach Lifeguard courses feature regularly in our training programme. The Beach Lifeguard courses provide a focus for open water training together with boat handling, assistant beach lifesaver award, bronze and silver cross.
The club is now established in it's new base at The Hastings Motor Boat and Yacht Club, Rock'n'Ore, Old Town, Hastings. We now provide beach patrols in the summer season from the club's base. The move has provided new focus and enthusiasm and is an exiting turning point for the club as it can utilise the excellent facilities at the club.
Our club has an enthusiastic group who cover a variety of open water events in the area including sea swims, triathlons, rowing regattas and safety in action for local school children. They also enter competitions and arrange local competitions run on club evenings.
The club organises monthly community life support courses offered free of charge. The club also ensures through it's club welfare officer that all Trainers have enhanced CRB checks.
Clubs within the Sussex Branch compete annually for the prestigious Duke of Norfolk Trophy. This recognises all activities within a club including awards, competitions, community awards, providing lifeguard and safety cover at special events. It was with great pride that Hastings Lifeguard Club accepted this award at the Sussex Branch AGM this year, having broken Worthing Lifeguard Corps strangle hold on it!!
