Merry christmas everyone! However you are planning on celebrating the holidays, we at BULSCA hope you have a nice rest and enjoy spending time with your friends and family.
*Movember Update*
We would like to thank club members from @UBLifesaving, @UoNLifesaving, @UoW_Lifesaving and @LboroLifesaving as well as our committee members all raising money for Movember
As a community we managed to raise £574 for the charity which is a massive achievement!
So many have sacrificed so much this year already. As some areas of the UK look forward to increased freedom of movement, why let those sacrifices go to waste? Stay safe - Plan a safe route away from water - Look after one another

Beth has been involved in lifesaving since she was 10 years old but her involvement in BULSCA started 7 years ago where she started as a casualty before becoming a BULSCA official. Since then she has helped officiate competitions around the country

Our fourth member is James. James has consistently performed well at National and International competitions. He has represented GBR and England at the European championships in 2019 and Commonwealth Festival of Lifesaving in 2017 and 2019.
*Social Media Takeover*
Our third member is Michael. Michael has given his time to BULSCA for 10 years as a competitor, an official and as part of the committee. He first started as a member of University of Warwick Lifesaving before founding University of Sheffield Lifesaving.
*Social Media Takeover*
Jess is currently a student at Loughborough university where she trains in their performance team. She has attended many high profile lifesaving events such as the Commonwealth Festival of Lifesaving and World championships.
*Social Media Takeover*
Felix is a former member of @LboroLifesaving who has officiated at BULSCA competitions for over 10 years. He is an international level official meaning he gets to travel around the world to officiate lifesaving competitions (it also means he is very good)
Over the past week, the committee have been working to put together some more up to date guidance. We are disappointed to announce that Nottingham and Birmingham's competitions have been cancelled with the hope to re-arrange to 2021
Please contact us if you have any questions
Our tenth and final club is @UoW_Lifesaving
Warwick University Lifesaving Club started up back in 2002. It is one of the smaller sports clubs present at Warwick University, but with just under 35 members this year it is a club that has a growing popularity across campus.
We are delighted to inform you, that, at the present time, indoor lifesaving activity is unaffected by the recent update on corona virus (COVID-19) measures.

Southampton University Lifesaving Club is a close-knit group of lifesavers who enjoy training and competing in this unique sport. Our aims as a club are to teach first aid for competitions as well as learning life skills. We also increase our fitness through swimming sessions
@UoSLSC was founded back in 2014 and since then the club has grown to around 20-25 members from both Uni of Sheffield and Sheffield Hallam.
We're a very friendly and welcoming club, meaning we cater to a range of abilities and can offer a wide range of qualifications.
