We are delighted to be working in partnership with Hounslow School of Life Saving.

The Club was founded in 1963, by George Andrews, to teach Lifesaving in the Hounslow Area. Hounslow School of Life Saving teaches Lifesaving, Water Safety and Rescue Skills and the new “Survive and Save” and Rookie Lifeguard Programme for the Royal Lifesaving Society.
