[2018_01_09_USLABOD_AdvisorActivity.PDF] G. Liaison Officer (Mr. B. Chris Brewster) Mr. Brewster highlighted several items from his report beginning with an issue related to the National Drowning Registry. For years the US Healthcare System has relied on a set of codes originally called the ICD-9 codes, now called ICD-10. ICD stands for International Classification of Diseases and when there is an injury or death, they are coded for a number of reasons. Currently natural bodies of water are not broken down by location and this prevents easy reference for how many drowning incidents occurred in the ocean versus other bodies of water. Mr. Brewster submitted a proposal on behalf of the USLA recommending more specific breakdowns of accident locations in drowning accident data to the ICD-10 Coordination and Maintenance Committee.

  • 1 Annexure 4 PROPOSED WORLD GAMES 2021 QUALIFICATION 1
    Annexure 4 PROPOSED WORLD GAMES 2021 QUALIFICATION 1. BACKGROUND a) At the ILS Board of Directors meeting held in Durban the proposed qualification process to enter the World Games 2021 was approved. b) It was planned that the qualification event for the 2021 World Games to be held in Birmingham, Alabama, USA from 15th to 25th July 2021, would be the Lifesaving World Championships 2020 Riccione. c) Due to the worldwide Coronavirus pandemic, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) decided to postpone the 2020 Olympic Games, to be held in Japan in July and August 2020 to run from 23 July until 8 August 2021. This changed date unfortunately partly clashes with the World Games (WG) and would result in Key Service Providers such as the TV production companies, Swiss Timing systems, etc. not being available. Therefore, in turn the International World Games Association (IWGA) decided to postpone the World Games to 7th to 17th July 2022. d) As the LWC 2020 has been postponed to September/October 2022, the planned programme for qualification to enter the World Games need to be reviewed. e) The events to be contested at the World Games are: Individual races Women Men 50 m Manikin Carry X X 100 m Manikin Carry with Fins X X 100 m Manikin Tow with Fins X X 200 m Obstacle Swim X X 200 m Super Lifesaver X X Team races (relays) Women Men 4 x 25 m Manikin Relay X X 4 x 50 m Obstacle Relay X X 4 x 50 m Medley Relay X X 2.
