IntroductionHello, Lifesaving Clubs, you are again invited to take part in Sheffield Lifesaving Clubs Annual Lifesaving Competition. We apologise for the lack of competition last year but for numerous unforeseen circumstances it was just not feasible to run a competition in 2015.
This year though we are holding our competition at a new venue, Ponds Forge International Sports Centre! So we expect it to be bigger and better than ever before! We would again ask that you are patient with us on the day as we will be getting used to the venue as much as you are. We are also this year asking every club to bring helpers and bodies with them to assist on the day. More info on that in the team info section below. DirectionsFrom J33 of the M1 take the A630 towards Sheffield. Follow the A630 and the signs on it for Ponds Forge and this will direct you to the Ponds Forge Car Park which is Accessible off Pond Street Sheffield. For the Car Park please use the Postcode S1 1AA.
