The Lifesaving Society is the Canadian governing body for lifesaving sport – a sport recognized by the International Olympic Committee and the Commonwealth Games Federation.

The Lifesaving Society establishes rules for the purpose of ensuring a safe and fair system, within which age group, senior, and masters lifesaving competitions may be regulated and conducted.

Canadian championship race event rules are those established by the International Life Saving Federation.

Lifesaving/Sauvetage Canada hosts national championships for pool, surf and emergency response events.

Eligibility

Canadian Championships are intended for bona fide lifesavers who have demonstrated a commitment to lifesaving – people who are lifesavers first, competitors second. The championships are open to any Individual Member, Affiliated Club or Affiliate Member of the Lifesaving Society in good standing.
