We Are Lifeguards

Listen to our podcast exploring everything you need to know about being an RNLI lifeguard.

In 2001, the RNLI launched a brand-new beach lifeguarding service. From struggling swimmers to stranded surfers, RNLI lifeguards have been keeping beaches safer for 25 years. They're highly trained, fit, and equipped to save lives.

This is their story.

What is the We Are Lifeguards podcast about?

To celebrate the 25th anniversary of RNLI lifeguards, we’ve created a brand-new podcast series.

We Are Lifeguards is a series that takes a closer look at what it’s like to keep people safe at the seaside. Across five episodes, we explore the different aspects of lifeguarding, from the equipment lifeguards use and the training they do, to how every beach poses its own challenge.

You'll hear lifeguards, past and present, talk about their experiences and hear from the people they've rescued.
