GLL partners with RLSS UK for water safety

Leisure operator, GLL, has partnered the Royal Life Saving Society UK (RLSS UK) to introduce water safety education into all swimming lessons at the facilities it manages on behalf of local authorities. GLL – which offers swimming lessons through its Better Swim School – has become RLSS UK’s first water safety education partner. The move will see all pupils of all ages, from toddlers to adults, benefit from life-saving skills.

Better Swim School currently offers 200,000 adults and children weekly lessons at more than 140 pools across the UK. GLL will upskill more than 2,000 Swimming teachers to share water safety messaging and skills.

Emma Lewis, GLL’s National Swimming Development Manager, said: “Our goal is to ensure that every child in the communities we serve gains essential water safety skills. Learning to swim is about far more than mastering a skill – it is about saving lives and fostering safer communities.”
