Royal Life Saving Society UK (RLSS UK) is the UK and Ireland's leading provider of training in lifesaving, lifeguarding, and water safety.
Every year, we certify more than 60,000 regulated qualifications and non-regulated vocational training awards, and more lifeguards qualify with us than with any other awarding body! Why? Because we're at the cutting edge of water safety and life support skills. We rigorously review our qualifications and sit on many industry panels to evolve and develop national safety standards. We are also at the forefront of supporting companies that manufacture and distribute innovative and compliant lifesaving equipment. RLSS UK Shop offers official uniforms and training, first aid, and safety equipment for the Leisure industry.
Our partnerships span various sectors, including hotels, spas, competition pools, and leisure centres. We also create tailored training services for the cruise and holiday industries and provide consultancy for businesses managing water-related safety liabilities.
Our Consultancy expertise enhances safety standards in swimming pools and water environments. Our services include safety audits, risk assessment reviews, staff training, and pool design advice, all tailored to meet your needs and ensure compliance with UK legislation and best practices.
Our Pool Safety Audits evaluate safety standards, highlight areas for improvement, and align with industry guidance and UK health and safety regulations.
The RLSS UK Swimming Pool Emergency Rescue Award covers essential skills for recognising, rescuing, and providing first aid for pool casualties. The National Pool Lifeguard Qualification (NPLQ) includes more detailed training and content to prepare someone to supervise a swimming pool directly.
Our trusted brand gives peace of mind to businesses and the millions of customers who access the facilities we support.
Our charity’s* impact – 100% of all profit goes into helping educate more people to enjoy being in, on, or near water safely because every life is worth saving. 2,400,000+ children received water safety education using our free, downloadable educational resources during Drowning Prevention Week 2025 - our national early summer water safety awareness campaign to reduce accidental drownings each year and support families affected by drowning.
