St Edmundsbury Life Saving Club (SELSC) is the life saving club for Bury St Edmunds in Suffolk and the surrounding areas. The club is fun and friendly, and new members are always welcome when space allows!
Our simple aim is to prevent the loss of life through drowning and asphyxiation. This is achieved through teaching the necessary skills to cope with situations where drowning and asphyxiation might occur.
We meet on Sundays in school term time, from 5 pm until 7 pm, at the Bury St Edmunds Leisure Centre. One hour is spent learning theory and practical skills out of the water, and one hour is spent in the water.
There is an exciting Rookie Lifeguard section for 8-13 year olds, teaching water safety and lifesaving skills at various levels. For older children and adults we provide the Survive & Save programme. In addition higher life support awards and courses for National Rescue Award for Swimming Teachers & Coaches are provided, when required.
Rookies
Children of eight and above have fun practising swimming and lifesaving skills which teach them how to keep safe and what to do in an emergency, both in and out of the water. We believe they are the foundation of our club.
Survive & Save
The older members of the club also learn the skills needed for survival, self-rescue and life support. The S&S scheme encourages them to practise their skills in the pool, still water and the sea, and as a sport.
