What we cannot help with

Beach Lifeguards is an information portal. We do not provide personal safety advice for your specific circumstances, operate lifeguard services, or run training programmes. For professional lifeguard training, contact a RLSS UK or Surf Life Saving GB accredited centre. For immediate help at a beach, speak to on-duty lifeguards or call 999 in an emergency.

We do not handle bookings, tickets, memberships or commercial enquiries. Any message asking us to promote a product or service will not receive a reply.

Response times

Most messages receive a reply within two working days. Complex questions that require research may take longer. If you have not heard from us after five working days, check your spam folder or send a follow-up message.

Thank you for taking the time to get in touch.
