New Members are welcome and are entitled to two taster training sessions before deciding to join.  The membership runs from January every year, fees are £40 for both Seniors (18yrs+) and Juniors (12 to 17yrs).  Our yearly membership offers training, equipment and Liability & Personal Accident insurance with SLSA GB.

New Members are always welcome and can come to 2 training sessions to see if you enjoy it.  All prospective new members will be required to take a short informal assessment of 100 metre swim to evaluate their swimming ability.  If you can't swim or aren't a strong swimmer we would encourage you to attend a local swimming club to improve your swimming and general fitness.  But you don't have to be super fit to become a member of the club as as long as you give it your all and are willing to improve your fitness, all are welcome.

Surf Life Saving is one of the few sports that has a practical use in everyday life, skills learnt here will stay with you for the rest of your life and one day you may need them whether its to save a family member, friend or even a total stranger.

Training sessions take place every week throughout the year, with additional training sessions through the summer and for those working towards a qualification.  All training sessions are run by qualified beach lifeguards and are generally practical based, with the emphases on safety and fun skills are learnt in a friendly informative environment.

You will need to bring a towel, swimming stuff and a wetsuit.  if you have don't have one, we have a limited number of club wetsuits which can be borrowed as a short term measure.

The Beach Lifeguard Award is an internationally recognised qualification.  Once you are qualified you can apply for employment with the RNLI.  Many of our senior members are or have been paid lifeguards with the RNLI at local beaches such as Dawlish Warren and Teignmouth.
