🚩PATROLLING🚩

We’ve seen some brilliant work from clubs this year through our Patrol Logs but we are confident more patrols are happening than logs completed.

The Patrol Logs provide valuable statistics that are shared nationally and contribute to the work of the UK Search and Rescue Committees, helping demonstrate the impact of lifesaving volunteers and supporting wider water safety initiatives that supports our charitable purpose.

You can find our log by simply typing in any search engine - SLSGB Patrol Log.

https://slsgb.org.uk/patrol-log/

🤔 Why Patrol? Patrols will save lives.🦸

With recent drowning tragedies across the UK and forecasts suggesting an El Niño weather pattern (warmer climate pattern) later this summer, the need for volunteer patrols has never been greater.

Beyond fulfilling our purpose, patrols create lasting connections within local communities, encourage new members to get involved, and help sustain the strong community spirit that makes SLSGB unique.

💛 Every patrol matters.
🛟 Every volunteer makes a difference.
🌊 Every minute on patrol helps make our waterways safer.

Is your club ready to step up and patrol this summer?

Race scores combine to create an Event Total, and Event Totals from all three rounds determine the overall Series Total - yes, we will also recognise discipline specific series champions!

No bonus points. No handicaps. Every race counts.

👑 Series Champions

At the conclusion of Round 3, the athlete with the highest Series Total in each division will be crowned SLSGB Surf Series Champion.

All competitors must register through the SLSGB website and hold a valid SLSGB membership. Day Membership is available for non-members.

All events will be tracked through LiveHeats, with live results, race schedules and series standings available throughout the season.

The SLSGB Surf Series celebrates the very best of surf lifesaving sport, testing athletes across multiple disciplines and ocean conditions while creating a pathway from emerging talent to elite competition.

🛟 LIFESAVING 🛟

Recent weeks have seen heartbreaking water-related tragedies across Great Britain, with lives lost in rivers, lakes, reservoirs and along our coastline. Behind every statistic is a family, a community and a future changed forever. The SLSGB Community sends their condolences to all effected.

At SLSGB, we know that drowning is often silent, sudden and preventable.

Powered by over 11,000 volunteers, SLSGB works year-round to educate communities, promote water safety and develop lifesaving skills. Last year alone, our volunteers carried out 4,552 interventions - a 38% increase on 2024 and helped save 49 lives.

These recent tragedies are a powerful reminder that water safety education saves lives.

As temperatures rise, many people are drawn to open water, but UK waters remain dangerously cold. Cold water shock can affect anyone, regardless of age or swimming ability, and inland waters now account for the majority of drowning incidents.

Remember:

🛟 If you fall into the water unexpectedly – FLOAT LIKE A STAR
⭐S - Stay calm
⭐T - Tilt your head back with ears in the water
⭐A - Arms and legs stretched out wide with light movement to support float
⭐R - Regain control of your breathing and call for help

If you see someone in trouble:

📱 PHONE – Call 999
🛟 FLOAT – Encourage them to float
🪢 THROW – Throw something that floats

Every conversation about water safety matters. Every lesson matters. Every life matters.
