...and that's a wrap! Keynsham Life Saving rounded off this term with three open water sessions in the River Avon in Saltford, a trip to the Aqua Park, and a day-long training session with Bournemouth Lifeguard Corps on the beach! Our instructors and committee are taking a well-deserved break for the summer, but we'll be back in September for more lifesaving fun (including the launch of our brand-new lifesaving sport group aimed at ages 18+).

I'd like to say a HUGE thankyou to all our lovely volunteers who give up a huge amount of time to make this club what it is.

In the meantime, I'll leave you with this short video of our Bournemouth Trip...have a great summer, and stay safe (https://www.rlss.org.uk/pages/category/water-safety-information)!
