Rules and Policies

MANUALS

The Canadian Competition Manual will adopt and reference the rules and procedures documented in the current edition of the ILS Competition Manual.

Lifesaving/Sauvetage Canada uses the ILS Competition Manual for event rules. The Canadian Competition Manual focuses primarily on rules for national championships, event management, and Emergency Response competition rules.

The complementary manual to the ILS manual for the RLSS Commonwealth Lifesaving Championships, held biannually opposite the Rescue World Championships, is the RLSS Commonwealth Competition Manual. The current version is available here.

POLICIES
Swimwear
Following the release of the 2009 ILS competition Manual, the ILS passed a policy on April 21, 2010 regarding approved swim suits at sanctioned events.
The 2010 ILS Swim Suit Policy will be adhered to at the all Canadian Pool Lifesaving Championships and Canadian Surf Lifesaving Championships. The policy is listed in the files below.
