Virtual Sessions

The Lifesaving Society is proud to announce the launch of its monthly virtual sessions. Throughout 2026, you will be invited to take part in these discussions designed to inform, encourage dialogue, and strengthen our connections with affiliate members, lifeguards, instructors, and the general public.

These sessions will provide a unique opportunity to learn and share knowledge on a variety of topics related to aquatic safety. Each session will begin with a presentation of the month's topic, followed by an open discussion period where participants can ask questions and address challenges they may encounter in their daily activities.

Who can participate?

These sessions are open to everyone: affiliate members, aquatic facility managers, lifeguards, instructors, volunteers, and members of the general public interested in aquatic safety.

Our goal is to promote a better understanding of safe practices, encourage continuing education, and maintain an open dialogue with everyone who contributes to our mission of drowning prevention and awareness of aquatic-related risks.

How to participate?

Each session will take place online through a videoconferencing platform. Advance registration is required to receive the connection details.

Registered participants will have the opportunity to interact directly with our experts, ask questions, and share their experiences.

A diverse and inclusive schedule

To meet everyone's needs and interests, we have developed a schedule covering a wide range of topics, from technical subjects to more general discussions. Each month, a specific theme will be explored to address current challenges and developments in aquatic safety.

Don't miss this opportunity to stay informed and actively contribute to advancing aquatic safety!

Join us every month as we work together to create a safer, more inclusive aquatic environment with greater awareness of safety issues.

Please note: Virtual sessions WILL NOT BE RECORDED. Be sure to attend live so you don't miss anything!
