National Lifeguard Service

The National Lifeguard Service (NLS) is a recognized certification program for professional lifeguards, typically in Canada. It trains individuals to effectively supervise swimming areas, respond to emergencies, perform rescues, and provide first aid and CPR. The program emphasizes safety protocols, surveillance skills, and leadership in aquatic environments. Certified lifeguards are trained to ensure the safety of swimmers and prevent accidents, making recreational and public swimming areas safer for all. The NLS certification is widely regarded as a standard qualification for professional lifeguarding staff working in pools, beaches, and water parks across Canada.
