## ABOUT US 

Vale Surf Life Saving Club is a registered charity (no 1178572) established in 2017. We are a family friendly club, affiliated with SLSA Wales and our aims are the promotion and provision of surf lifesaving skills and sport for all ages and abilities. Vale SLSC offers training in water safety, rescue, coaching, resuscitation and first aid and lifesaving activities for training, enjoyment and competitions. We also provide voluntary lifesaving and rescue services in the Vale of Glamorgan. Vale SLSC’s main beach/sea training location is at Jackson’s Bay, Barry Island and has a base at Barry Yacht Club. 

## 2021 - 2022 Summary 

After a number of disrupted years due to covid, Vale SLSC began to return to pre 2020 activity levels, with training and competitions gradually returning.  2022 saw the return of Wales and GB competitions, both in the swimming pool and at the beach and an influx of new members who wanted to join all sections of the club.  Whilst we have restarted fundraising and community events to raise valuable funds for the club, this has been impacted by Covid. 

## ACHIEVEMENTS 

## MEMBERSHIP 

Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, membership numbers have now increased to 209. 

## AWARDS, COURSES & TRAINING 

As competitions resumed, we have focused on our club members and parent coaches completing their lifeguard awards.  This is an important part of our club activity and supports our members to both train and compete safely, but also to patrol our community beaches.  In 2022, we saw a significant increase of members successfully completing awards across the various lifeguard levels, including the National Vocational Beach Lifeguard Qualification. 

## RESCUES AND FIRST AID 

In 2022, we also resumed local voluntary beach and water patrols at Jackson’s Bay, Barry Island during July and August. 

## SPORT & COMPETITION 

As competitions resumed, we saw our members across all age groups compete both at interclub level and at the Welsh National and GB championships.  This was in the 



pool and on the beach.  We have also seen a number of members compete for Wales.
