Lifesaving is a very popular sport in the UK with many universities having their own lifesaving clubs. There are numerous disciplines in lifesaving sport, but speed lifesaving involves swimming with fins. Although it has its own technicalities the basics of preparation are very similar to finswimming - an experienced finswimmer with a small amount of specific training can pick up speed lifesaving disciplines and can achieve good results. In February 2020, Anton, 16, participated in the student lifesaving nationals that were held in Bristol. Despite competing against university students aged 18 and older, he managed to achieve top places.
