We will stay in the centre and use the campsite, so will have space for more people this year. An action packed weekend will be organised. If there's any particular activies you'd like to do then LET US KNOW!

Open Water Training and Tests 2010
A short course leading to Bronze Cross and Silver Cross awards will be held at Felixtowe again next summer. Watch out for further information. It will be held at the beach lifeguard station at The Dip (see below for directions).

The Dip is located beside Cliff Road between The Pines and Western Avenue; look out for the RLSS flags outside the lifeguards' hut.There is a large pay and display car park a short distance past Western Avenue.

Rookies on the Beach 2010
We will be running beach sessions for the Rookies at Felixstowe again next summer. Watch out for information.

Life Support Classes for Adults
Something for the parents! Would you like to learn the life support skills that your children are learning, and earn the nationally recognised RLSS Life Support awards? Come and join in for the theory hour, no need to get in the water at all (unless you'd also like to join the Bronze Medallion class). If there is enough interest, we will start these classes.
