Lifesaving programs are designed to educate participants on the key WaterSmart messages that help prevent drowning. Participants learn how to recognize when someone is in trouble and how to safely perform water rescues in everyday environments. Programs range from simple survival skills to complex rescues and are designed for children as young as 8 years old through teens and beyond for adults, caregivers and guardians.
