Oliva Trip 2009
This September British University Life Saving Clubs Associations (BULSCA) will be hosting their third beach training camp in Oliva, Spain. University clubs from all over Britain will again be travelling to the shores of the Mediterranean in order to go through 10 gruelling days of fitness and open water lifesaving training. The trip is aimed at helping lifesavers of all abilities, and the fitness sessions are run in tiered groups.
A typical day for a participant starts at 8am with 4 hours of fitness on the beach and in the sea, alternating each day between high intensity training and endurance. This includes run swim runs, beach runs, buoy swimming, rescue swimming and extensive stretching sets. Morning training is followed by a well earned lunch and then a siesta during the hottest part of the day. The afternoon sessions begin at 4pm and are for lifesaving theory and technique. The first 2 hours are dedicated to the beach lifesaving skills, and then two hours that are a mix of incident training, team building command tasks and beach event workshops from the lifesaving sport manual. Once finished everyone pitches together to help cook and clean up dinner. For those who still have energy, the spanish bars are cheap and friendly!
The cost of this trip is £250 which includes the accommodation, the coaching/equipment and food/water on training days. There will aslo be a £25 addtional fee. This will hopefully be returned to you and is depentadent on the Euro/pound not crashing again.
