Operations:

What the charity is set up to do and how it does this:

Oban Lifesaving Club was inaugurated with the purpose, not only to teach swimming, but to give instruction on lifesaving techniques and water safety. This was recognised as necessary in a seaside town. Pupils become members at the age of 5 and progress from the small pool, where they first learn to swim, progressing from the small pool to Rookie Lifesaving as they become more proficient. As they progress they can attain badges for distance swimming and other disciplines. Then they can opt to achieve a Bronze Medal for lifesaving efficiency, generally between ages 14 and 18. All the teachers are voluntary and initially have to pass a swimming course at level 1 and if they choose, at level 2. These courses are the most involved in any sport, taking in, teaching most strokes, organising class lessons and achievement of Disclosure Scotland status. We are always short of teachers and would welcome anyone volunteering to assist at the poolside for a period until they sit the level 1

We are also required to publish each charity’s annual report and accounts as received from this date, which may include the names of certain individuals. The only exceptions to publication are where a charity or one of its charity trustees applies for this information to be excluded, and OSCR is satisfied that publishing it would jeopardise the safety or security of a person or premises.
