You will need Lifesaving Club membership and DRSV membership. Club membership helps pay for equipment, training and competitions, and DRSV membership pays for the fantastic fascilities and free studio and pool hire.
Awards

The main qualification many of our members complete are the RLSS National Lifesaving Academy awards (NLA), and there is the possibility in future of doing a National Pool Lifeguard Qualification (NPLQ) - more info to come!
