The event takes place every two years, but this is the first time since 2019. https://www.rlsscommonwealth.org/lifesaving-sport/commonwealth-lifesaving-championships/

The competition brings together the best pool lifeguards from countries across the Commonwealth, usually including Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Hong Kong, Singapore, Canada as well as England, Wales and Scotland. The events comprise both speed events and simulated rescue events. All competitors are qualified pool or beach lifeguards.

Team Wales is planning on taking both a National and Development team to the event, this should be 22 people including team managers. Team members are generally between the ages of 16 and 30. The event takes place from September 13th – 17th . With travel and accommodation, costs are likely to be around £1,500 per person. Whilst team members will be self-financed, we are actively seeking team financial support and sponsorship to reduce this cost as much as possible.
