Membership
The club has 3 sections:
- Nippers (Age 7-12)
- Youth (Age 13-15)
- Seniors (Age 16-29) and Masters (Age 30+)
Membership of each section is generally decided using ages as at 1st January. However, we are able to be flexible and give consideration to friendship groups and ability/maturity when deciding membership.
All queries regarding membership should be directed to membership@southbourne.org.uk.

Nippers & Youth
We welcome new members in both age groups, the only stipulation being the ability to already swim 25m in a pool.
Seniors & Masters
We welcome adults of all abilities and ages, so there's no need to get wet! There are plenty of ways to get involved and support the club. We have many roles and tasks to undertake which need skills that are not specific to life saving, for example, administration, accountancy, building management.
