RLSS UK Shop now offers wetsuits for the whole family to keep everyone comfortable and safe!
At RLSS UK, we want everyone to feel comfortable and safe with the equipment they use to enjoy water safely.
We're more likely to head for the water as the weather gets warmer. Whether you’re splashing around in the sea, braving a bit of coasteering, or testing your balance on a stand-up paddleboard, making sure the whole family are kitted up, comfortable, and safe is a must!
In 2024, two independent pieces of research* both concluded that a significantly increased number of people lose their lives to accidental drowning in the UK during periods of hot weather. RLSS UK’s focus remains to educate families about how to stay safe whilst in, on and around the water, and what you wear at the seaside or enjoy open water is a good place to start.
Wetsuits for Families
RLSS UK is proud to partner with The Wetsuit Factory (TWF) to offer an affordable range of wetsuits for all the family in one place. RLSS UK provides wetsuits for women, wetsuits for men and wetsuits for children. You can view the whole wetsuit collection here.
- Do you get cold toes? No problem! TWF’s wetsuit boots will help keep your feet warm
- Choose a wetsuit with SPF Protection to spend the day in the water worry-free (as long as you use sun protection on the rest of your exposed areas!).
· Mesh skin chest and back panels add a layer of protection to combat windchill.
- Designed for a comfortable fit from first use, offering an excellent range of movement and maximum durability.
If that isn't enough, TWF wetsuits are available in bright colours to maximise visibility in the water, which is a key aspect of staying safe if you get into trouble. Learn more about the Water Safety Code.
Keeping your family safe… did you know?
TWF wetsuits come complete with RLSS UK’s beach safety advice tagged right on the label, so you and your family know how to stay safe while having fun in, on, and around the water this summer.
Also available within the RLSS UK Shop… Buoyancy Aids!
Summer is the perfect time to try out a new sport or hobby, but as with all sports, safety is a priority – especially for water-related activities. Along with the TWF and Sola Wetsuits, we are offering a selection of their buoyancy aids, too. The buoyancy aids conform to EU safety standards and designed for maximum comfort and movement, with adjustable straps to let you enjoy your time kayaking, paddleboarding, or sailing.
Discover the full range of buoyancy aids here.
The RLSS UK Shop is now stocked with TWF’s fantastic range of affordable wetsuits, buoyancy aids and footwear, and Sola branded premium wetsuits.
100% of profits from RLSS UK Shop go towards helping us to continue our essential work of educating families to enjoy water safely.
Thank you to TWF for all they do to support our charity and help raise awareness about water safety education! We’re proud to be working in partnership with an organisation that, like us, is all about enjoying water safely.
