Lifesaving Sport

Lifesaving Sport is an athletic discipline based on the skills and techniques used in real-life water rescue situations. Competitors train in activities like swimming, rescue techniques, and first aid to demonstrate their ability to prevent and respond to emergencies in the water. Events typically include relay races with rescue equipment, simulated rescues, and strokes, emphasizing teamwork, speed, and safety. The sport promotes water safety awareness and prepares participants to assist others effectively, making it as much about prevention and preparedness as competitive performance.
