How we work

Image of lifeguard

Every RNLI-lifeguarded beach has been assessed to determine the appropriate number of lifeguards and the correct equipment.

Lifeguards respond to medical emergencies both on land and in the water and incidents up to 300m out to sea.

Each RNLI lifeguard unit is a central point for public information as well as for the lifeguards to access first aid and rescue equipment.
