What we do
The Lifesaving Society works to prevent drowning and
water-related injury through its training programs, Water Smart®
public education, drowning research, aquatic safety
management and lifesaving sport. Each year in
Canada, over 800,000 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.
