🛟 We were delighted to recently make a sizeable donation to tenbysurflifesavingclub to help support their vital work in keeping our community and its visitors safe! 🛟

Our donation went towards new first aid training equipment and to cover the cost of their winter training sessions at Tenby Leisure Centre (a shame that Pembrokeshire County Council do not waive these fees for such a valuable organisation).

We wish Tenby SLC every success for the future and, once again, thank all their volunteers for the time, commitment and hard work they put into helping our community.

Thank you to the Tenby Lodge for their continued Support to our Volunteer Surf Lifesaving Club.

TENBY LODGE HELPS SURF LIFESAVING CLUB
Members of Tenby Lodge presented a ‘cheque’ for £750 to Tenby Surf Lifesaving Club (Surflink) after their training session last week.

The Club is rolling out volunteer lifesaving patrols at Tenby South Beach when there are no lifeguards on busy beach days, to support the RNLI service. To do this they need patrol uniforms in order to be easily recognised on the beach. W.Bro. Tony Upham brought a proposal to the Tenby lodge committee where it was quickly agreed to provide funds for the purchase of the uniforms.

Surf Club leader Tai Jackson said “Lifeguard services have reduced in recent times so we were keen to offer our skills, and we are grateful once again for the assistance from the Freemasons in purchasing the essential kit required.”

Tenby Lodge Charity Steward Steve Thurgood commented “We are committed to supporting local good causes so we are delighted to make these funds available to Surflink who provide excellent community service voluntarily, particularly to young people.”

The club has been teaching the multi-disciplined sport of surf lifesaving since 1993, educating participants from ages eight and upwards in surf safety, open water skills and swimming confidence to ensure their safety on the coastline.
Weekly training sessions take place throughout the Summer from its Training Facility and Building based at South Beach Car Park, Tenby. In the cold winter months it runs weekly Pool Sessions at Tenby Leisure Centre, building core swimming skills ready for the Beach Sessions. With its direct links to the RNLI, training and assessment is also provided for those wishing to become Beach Lifeguards, or as first aiders and sports coaches.
They also provide a lifeguard service for local coastal events such as Ironman Wales, Long Course Weekend, Saundersfoot New Year Day Swim and Tenby North Boxing Day Swim. Their stated aim is to save lives and prevent drowning through education and training on Surf Lifesaving in the Local Community.
If your kids are interested in joining the Tenby Surf Lifesaving Club all enquiries should be sent to [email protected]

This World Drowning Prevention Day, we are encouraging everyone to

If you find yourself struggling in the water, FLOAT. Tilt your head back, relax, and gently move your hands and legs to help control your breathing. Once your breathing is under control, call or signal for help.

🛟 Always visit a lifeguarded beach.

🔴🟡 Always swim between the red and yellow flags.

☎️ See someone in difficulty? Tell a lifeguard or call 999 and ask for the Coastguard.

🌊 In difficulty in the water? Float to Live!

Tenby Surf Lifesaving Club deployed a team of 6 lifeguard paddlers for the Ironman Swansea Event this morning. The team worked alongside Swim Safety to keep the competitors safe during their 1.9KM Swim.

Highlight for the team was one of our paddlers Gethin getting to cheer his Brother along the gruelling swim in the heat. Well done to all the competitors! 🙌
