The Lifeguard Outreach Society

The Lifeguard Outreach Society is rated 3 out of 5 in the category public safety. Read and write reviews about The Lifeguard Outreach Society. We are preventing drownings in Canada through community outreach and social innovation. Our volunteers teach drowning prevention, swimming survival, and first aid skills in isolated communities who do not have easy access to these education opportunities. By sending lifeguards from city pools to isolated communities we challenge the aquatics industry’s ability to truly understand it’s impact on Canadian public health. We proudly partner with the Canadian Lifesaving Society to offer the Swim to Survive program teaching children how to survive an unexpected fall into a body of water. We are a proud implementation partner of Right to Play working in rural Canada. We also support the World Health Organizations Global Report on Drowning to teach school aged children basic swimming skills and safe rescue, teach adults resuscitation skills and safe rescue and to highlight the vulnerability of children.
