The Lifesaving Society welcomes the opportunity to work with you
should you choose to transition to our training programs.
The Lifesaving Society appreciates the confidence Red Cross has
expressed in us and we intend to seize this unique opportunity to
become better still.
We hope more young Canadians will be encouraged to pursue the
great leadership development opportunities in becoming an aquatic
instructor, trainer or lifeguard.
About the Lifesaving Society
For those who are not yet familiar with the Lifesaving Society,
we are a national, charitable organization that works to prevent
drowning and water-related injury through our training programs,
Water Smart® public education, aquatic safety management services,
drowning research and lifesaving sport.
We have more than 100 years' experience delivering
nationally-recognized learn-to-swim, lifesaving, lifeguard and
leadership training with more than a million participants each
year. More About
Us.
You can check out the features and benefits of our Swim for Life
program in the Swimming & Lifesaving
section of this website. The Lifeguarding section contains information
on our Bronze Cross Assistant Lifeguard and National Lifeguard
certifications.
The Teaching
section provides an overview of the leadership training that
supports our swimming, lifesaving and lifeguard certification
programs. Our Program Guide is a rich source of
information about these and other Lifesaving Society programs and
services.
Transition process
For Red Cross training partners, instructors, lifeguards and
trainers who wish to take advantage of this transition opportunity,
please know that it is the intention of both organizations to make
the transition as smooth as possible.
The process for Red Cross Water Safety Training Partners who are
already Affiliate Members of the Society is slightly different than
the transition process for those who are not affiliates. In both
cases, a person-to-person conversation is the best way forward.
Let's talk - in person, on screen, or on the phone. We invite
you to contact us at your convenience. We'll explore features and
benefits of the Society's programs, answer your questions and
explore your concerns. Together, we'll walk through the steps for a
smooth and successful transition that works best for you.

Seasonal (summer-only) training partners
Red Cross is referring its seasonal training partners to the
Lifesaving Society for summer 2022 swim programming. If you wish to
transition to the Lifesaving Society's programs for 2022, please
contact Gregoire Cormier early in the year.
