After Amsterdam, Porto, and DaNang the world of lifesaving meets again for presentations, exchange of ideas and development of innovative projects. The relevance of drowning prevention is shown by two figures per year: - nearly 1 Million drownings in the world, - 35.000 to 40.000 drownings in Europe. In Germany we reached 2012 with 383 drownings (= 0,47 drownings per 100.000 inhabitants) a mar- vellous low figure, but nevertheless we have to continue our efforts in • Prevention • Teaching swimming and livesaving • Rescue and disaster operations. Therefore we are happy to organize the 2013 world Conference. Our meetings include a wide range of themes and aspects from prevention to management, from education to rescue service, from disaster prevention and operations to the work with youth and seni- ors. This conference in Potsdam has found the highest interest we ever had for such conferences: • 221 oral presentations, • 58 poster exhibitions, and • 7 prominent keynote speakers will attract everybody. The preparation team with Claudia Mauersberg, Jörg Jennerjahn, Jens Quernheim and Matthias Stoll has worked hard and we hope successfully. Enjoy the congress and the nice area of Potsdam with historical castles, gardens and lakes. The Seminaris Hotel offers a good service at all time!

One century later the DLRG represents with over 1.100.000 Members and supporters the worldwide biggest Life Saving Organization and stands for an efficient organization to win the challen- ge of drowning prevention. Per Example the drowning of 0-15 year‘s old children could be reduced by 82% in the last ten years. The success of reducing drowning and develop effective drowning prevention strategies is based on different columns, which are represented by the WCDP 2013 Topics. Supported by Nivea, the DLRG could realize different basic water education campaigns for children. Young Children get the rules for bathing taught at beach festivals along the coast of Northern and Eastern Sea, especially skilled DLRG lifesavers go into the kindergarten and educate the children themselves in best behaviour at the water and simple questions of self-rescue, child care worker were trained to teach children to swim and a campaign will offer the possi- bility to reach the „Seahorse Badge“ for every children in Germany.
