## 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. 

## 2023 – 2024 Summary 

Vale  SLSC has had a successful year with a continued  interest attracting  new members of all ages and significant media interest due to the increase number of beach patrol rescues that have taken place.  We have also had a high number of members representing both Wales and GB at beach and pool competitions. 

We have continued our family social events and held our first one club carnival followed by presentation night. 

## ACHIEVEMENTS 

## MEMBERSHIP 

Current membership for the period sat at 180 members, across the nipper, junior, senior and master age groups. 

## AWARDS, COURSES & TRAINING 

During this period, we continued to ensure all our members (including coaches) are fully trained in the relevant lifesaving awards to certify safety and competency for both training and competitions.  The qualifications include: 

- Nipper beach competency 

- Lifesaver level 1 & 2 

- Ski Competency 

- National Vocation Beach Lifeguard Qualification (NVBLQ) 

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 2024, we saw a significant increase of members successfully completing awards across the various 



lifeguard levels, including the highest award - National Vocational Beach Lifeguard Qualification. 

## RESCUES AND FIRST AID 

The club carried out voluntary beach and water patrols at Jackson’s Bay, Barry Island during July and August. This is a great way to give something back to our local community and qualified members spend the weekends of the summer holidays providing lifeguard cover to the local beach that doesn’t have RNLI cover. 

## SPORT & COMPETITION 

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 and throughout the whole year. We also had good attendance at  our local carnivals where we see our younger nippers grow in confidence and have a taste for their first friendly competitions with their friends.
