Start Your Free Lifesaving Team |
The Situation
Worldwide many traditional clubs have been in decline for some time.
It is sometimes hard for them to adjust to changes in society
due to the rigid top-down approach of their leadership or national organisations and governing bodies.
The Challenge
Outdated clubs are now being overtaken by fun driven sports teams, often with support from commercial sponsors.
Their organisational structure is simple and very flexible,
so they can quickly adapt to new developments.
Your Mission
Help your ccommunity.
Promote survival swimming and lifesaving through a local team.
This is easier than you think, because you don't need a complex club structure.
You can run it all from your computer with email and social media like twitter and facebook.
Use our website as your support system.
Keep it Simple
Free Lifesaving Teams are fun, simple and agile.
Keep to an easy organisational structure, free from committees, governing bodies, and other such overheads.
Just get a few friends together and start training.
Lifesaving and survival swimming is more fun in a simple team than a club with complex rules and committees.
Leadership
Many teams are very small, often just put together by the team leader.
Some are part of hotel staff or a leisure centre, others are just a group of friends.
Some are bigger with a wider catchment area.
Forget committees, paper pushers and complex club rules.
Decide matters with the whole team when you get together.
Run weekly webinars when your team gets bigger.
Membership
You need no formal membership, just a mailing list in your email software.
Many teams run on a tight budget, so cut out as much paperwork as possible.
Besides, paper is a fire hazard.
It might be helpful if someone in your team is a member of a regional or national lifesaving organisation,
so you can have their examiners come in and assess your team for any lifeguarding cetificates you may want.
Make sure you keep your independence.

One More Thing: Be Yourselves |
Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers.
The round pegs in the square holes.
The ones who see things differently.
They’re not fond of rules.
And they have no respect for the status quo.
You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them.
About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things.
They push the human race forward.
While some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius.
Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.
Steve Jobs, Apple Inc.
