SINGAPORE OPEN WATER LIFESAVING CHAMPIONSHIPS 2026, 25-26 July 2026

The rainy weather, choppy seas and new location did not deter our lifesavers from intense racing in the sea and on the sand. Starting with a beach clean up, the lifesaving sport community came together to clear the beach of debris, working together hand in hand regardless of cap, club and role.

Thank you to all participating organisations, competitors and volunteers for making this Championships a success! Lots of gratitude to Guest of Honour Mr Richard Tan, Hon Advisor SLSS for gracing the event. Congratulations to all winners!

🌊 Inclusive Beach Safety Exposure 2026 — And That's a Wrap! 🌊

What a morning at Palawan Beach, Sentosa! We are absolutely thrilled to have completed the second annual run of our Inclusive Beach Safety Exposure, and the smiles on every participant's face said it all. 🥹

This year, we welcomed 8 participants with diverse abilities — and were backed by an incredible team of almost 30 dedicated volunteers who gave their time, energy, and heart to make every moment count. 💛

A highlight of this year's run was a very special addition — 2x WaterWheels® floating beach wheelchairs, generously loaned to us by Sentosa Singapore 🙏. These remarkable wheelchairs allowed participants who are physically challenged to do something many may never have experienced before: enter the sea. Seeing this come to life was nothing short of extraordinary, and we are deeply grateful to Sentosa Singapore for making it possible.

From water safety skills to open water discovery, every activity was designed to meet each participant where they are — at their own pace, in their own way, in a space where everyone is comfortable to at.

To our volunteers — you are the heartbeat of this event. Thank you for showing up, for going the extra mile, and for making this an experience our participants and their families will carry with them long after the sand is off their feet. 🤍

This is only the beginning. We look forward to seeing you at Inclusive Beach Safety Exposure 2027. 🌟
