Honing Skills To Save Lives!

Lifesaving as an utterly purposeful sport aims to encourage rescuers – pool and ocean lifeguards – to maintain, develop and improve the physical and mental skills needed to save lives in the aquatic environment. A variety of different events test the athletes’ skills, fitness and motivation in situations not unlike those they encounter in their daily rescue work.

Events: Beach Ocean Man; Beach Ocean Woman; Beach Rescue Board (M, W); Beach Surf Race (M, W); Pool Combined Rescue 100 M (M, W); Pool Obstacle Race 200 M (M, W);  Saving-A-Manekin 50 M (M, W); Saving-A-Manekin 100 M Fins (M, W); Pool/Beach Relay 10 (Mixed)

The Toeppersee and the Wedau Swim Stadium are the venues to the beach and pool lifesaving events.
