West Kent Life Guards are committed to ensuring the safety of all swimmers, offering expert lifesaving services and water safety education throughout the community.

Volunteer lifeguards are provided by West Kent Lifeguards and are especially trained and qualified to Royal Life Saving Society standards. They are trained to work with people with disabilities and are present at every session to ensure the safety of club members.

West Kent Lifeguards have provided volunteers for over forty years to ensure water safety supervision and they all hold a Pool Lifeguard qualification. We have successfully trained a number of candidates with disabilities over the years, some of whom volunteer at our sessions and some who have gone on to gain full time employment in the industry.

We hold regular training sessions both for rescue skills in the water and First Aid training poolside. If you, or anyone you know, is interested in becoming a volunteer lifeguard and training to become RLSS qualified in order to assist in the ongoing safety of our members please speak to one of the Lifeguards on Friday evening.

In 2021 our Lifeguard team was honoured by the Royal Life Saving Society for outstanding lifesaving activity supporting inclusion within the community with the award of the Brian Morrissey Outreach Cup.
