159. Anchored in the Sea: Alice Higgins

When Alice Higgins isn’t saving lives she’s saving lives. Meet the Lead Lifeguard Supervisor who’s also on the crew at RNLI Weymouth

When she’s not working as Lead Lifeguard Supervisor for Weymouth and Dorset, or volunteering as a crew member for Weymouth Lifeboat Station, Alice Higgins can be found in the sea. Whether it’s a daily dip during the winter months, or bodyboarding in the summer, the water is her happy place.

Alice talks about her lifelong connection to the sea, including how in childhood her brother, who is disabled, loved the beach – and how this inspires her to help make water activities more inclusive.
