Brigade Splash
Expertise That Comes to You
Since 2007, Brigade Splash has been visiting aquatic facilities to promote safety and help prevent drowning. Its approach is based on education, support and the sharing of best practices.
Pools, beaches, water parks and other swimming areas can benefit from activities tailored to their specific environment and the people who use them.
Prevention and Professional Development, Year-Round
The Brigade Splash program allows organizations and aquatic facilities to benefit from prevention and support activities beyond the summer season.
Depending on their needs, activities can help support management and lifeguard teams, strengthen practices and raise awareness among different audiences about safe behaviours around, on and in the water.

Support
Brigade Splash supports owners and managers in the continuous improvement of safety at their facilities.
Depending on the activity, various aspects related to safety, facility organization and current practices may be addressed to identify strengths and opportunities for improvement.
Develop Skills
Activities for lifeguards are part of an ongoing professional development approach.
Scenarios, discussions and reviews help reinforce knowledge, revisit certain practices and strengthen preparedness for emergency situations. Current summer visits may address topics such as the emergency action plan and the Plan d’organisation de la surveillance et des secours (POSS).
Raise Awareness
Brigade Splash also connects with swimmers, families, youth and groups to promote behaviours that help prevent incidents and drowning.
Educational activities provide opportunities to learn about aquatic safety, discover lifesaving skills and better understand the essential role of lifeguards.
