Welcome to the FLS Brighton Swim Team |
We are an independent survival swimming and lifesaving team in Brighton and Hove, England,
bringing the fun back into Brighton Swimming.
Club committees and silly rules are a thing of the past.
Come and enjoy high activity challenges in an energetic environment on the beach and in the pool.
Lifesaving and Survival
Our training includes personal survival, rescue skills, water safety, plus regular resistance and endurance swim training.
You set your own goals for your desired fitness level.
The Free Lifesaving Society
provides us with the training materials to practice locally.
Everyone is encouraged to learn and develop valuable skills
based on their personal best in fitness, skills, leadership, and teamwork.
Lifesaving training consists of the best elements from British, Dutch and German lifesaving courses
with a focus on realism rather than a rigid plan.
It involves some theory and lots of practice in the water.
Survival swimming sessions are based on the Dutch "Zwem ABC",
which provides the best introduction into aquatic survival we have found so far.
We've added a few bits to make it more fun and more challenging.
Realistic Training
Survival swimming and lifesaving is all about being prepared for the unexpected.
You may not have the opportunity to change into your surf shorts when an emergency arises.
Therefore, we swim in clothes to prepare for this with realistic training,
something most clubs overlook.
Being prepared can save lives.
Give it a try sometime.
It is terrific fun.
You'll be amazed.
If you don't have some of the gear needed,
let us know and we may be able to lend you some survival swimming kit.
See you in the water ...
