What we do
The Lifesaving Society works to prevent drowning and
water-related injury through its training programs, Water
Smart® public education, drowning
prevention research, aquatic safety management and lifesaving
sport. Each year in Canada, over 1,000,000 Canadians
participate in the Society's swimming, lifesaving,
lifeguard and leadership courses.
The Lifesaving Society is a national volunteer organization and
a registered charity composed of ten provincial/territorial
branches, tens of thousands of individual members and over 4,000
affiliated swimming pools, waterfronts and schools. The Society has
been educating Canadians to save themselves and others since the
first Lifesaving Bronze Medallion was earned in 1896. We are
Canada's lifeguarding experts.
