S.L.S.C TRAMORE ph ph CAPS OF THE WORLD INTRODUCTION Welcome to the Caps of the World, a unique register featuring competition caps from all full member countries of International Lifesaving. This is the first and only international register of its kind. The register highlights the ‘national’ cap for each full member country and lists the clubs and teams in alphabetical order. Caps can be searched by country or by colour groupings, assisting referees, media and the public in identifying the country, club or team during competition. The register is based on Beach/Ocean competition including IRBs and Surf Boats. In most countries, the colours and designs are traditional. The colours and designs of all Caps included are those of the countries, clubs and teams named. Pool competition caps are not included as they are not used for identification purposes. Please enjoy the colours.

  • A Lifeguard's Beach Safety Tips
    A Lifeguard’s Beach Safety Tips by Sgt. Ed Fisher Special to the Dispatch The writer is a 17-year veteran of the Beach patrol. In the off-season, he is an elementary school teacher in Montgomery County. The OCBP consist of over 200 men and women dedicated to ocean rescue and maintaining a safe and orderly environment on Ocean City’s beach. The Sure Rescue Technicians guard the beach seven days a week from 10 a.m. – 5:30 p.m. Studying the waves helps safety September 12, 2008 The Dispatch/Maryland Coast Dispatch Recently a kite surfer tried surfing in a hurricane and ended up getting blown into the side of a building. An accident like this does not happen because of bad luck. An accident like this happens because of poor decision making, not knowing your sport, and not respecting the elements. I mean is it really surprising that a kite that was flying in a hurricane got out of control? The idea here is that everyone entering the surf should have more common sense than this and take some basic precautions. The first precaution begins on the beach. People should spend at least 15 minutes on the beach surveying the conditions. Often people come out to the beach and see a calm ocean. As soon as they attempt to swim they find themselves confronted with a dangerous set of waves or strong currents they were not aware of. Be sure to know what the conditions are before entering the water. The daily conditions of the ocean are governed by the swell direction, wind velocity, and ocean bottom.

  • Lps 07 Fitness Testing for Lifeguards
    World Water Safety INTERNATIONAL LIFE SAVING FEDERATION Gemeenteplein 26 – 3010 Leuven – Belgium Tel: (32.16) 89.60.60 – E-mail: [email protected] - Web: www.ilsf.org LIFESAVING POSITION STATEMENT - LPS 07 FITNESS TESTING FOR LIFEGUARDS NOTE: This statement is intended for those lifeguards, acting in a professional or volunteer capacity, who are trained in the techniques of water rescue and resuscitation and who assume a duty to safeguard members of the public at aquatic sites. They may be called lifeguards, lifesavers or both. This statement is not directed at members of the public trained in water safety and rescue techniques, but without a duty to respond, who may also be known, in some areas of the world, as lifesavers. The standards outlined in this position statement are the minimum that ILS recommends. ILS encourages organisations to exceed these recommended minimum standards where local conditions and/or expectations of lifeguards are warranted. BACKGROUND Experts in the field of lifeguard training and rescue believe that lifeguards need to be able to demonstrate a reasonable level of fitness. It is presumed that lifeguards would have sound swimming and water rescue skills. The ability for lifeguards to swim a specified distance within a defined amount of time has been shown to correlate. The available English language studies in the aquatic setting were reviewed. The data is cohort studies of lifeguard pre-employment assessment outcomes. Level of evidence from the research is low and not directly related to the question addressed in this review. There are no direct outcome data for lifeguards responding to victims.

  • Surfing, Gender and Politics: Identity and Society in the History of South African Surfing Culture in the Twentieth-Century
    Surfing, gender and politics: Identity and society in the history of South African surfing culture in the twentieth-century. by Glen Thompson Dissertation presented for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (History) at Stellenbosch University Supervisor: Prof. Albert M. Grundlingh Co-supervisor: Prof. Sandra S. Swart Marc 2015 0 Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Declaration By submitting this thesis electronically, I declare that the entirety of the work contained therein is my own, original work, that I am the author thereof (unless to the extent explicitly otherwise stated) and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualification. Date: 8 October 2014 Copyright © 2015 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved 1 Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Abstract This study is a socio-cultural history of the sport of surfing from 1959 to the 2000s in South Africa. It critically engages with the “South African Surfing History Archive”, collected in the course of research, by focusing on two inter-related themes in contributing to a critical sports historiography in southern Africa. The first is how surfing in South Africa has come to be considered a white, male sport. The second is whether surfing is political. In addressing these topics the study considers the double whiteness of the Californian influences that shaped local surfing culture at “whites only” beaches during apartheid. The racialised nature of the sport can be found in the emergence of an amateur national surfing association in the mid-1960s and consolidated during the professionalisation of the sport in the mid-1970s.

    Lifesaving Society Canada Suite 001 – 1145 Hunt Club Road, Ottawa, Ontario K1V 0Y3 Telephone: 613-746-5694 E-mail: [email protected] Web: www.lifesaving.ca Safety Standards for Canadian Swimming Pools and Waterfronts Waterfront Standard Supervised Waterfront Operations Equipment Standard Standard Owners and Operators of supervised waterfronts should ensure that appropriate equipment is available at all times for use by lifeguards on duty. Definitions Last seen marker: A small buoy with a line and anchor that is used to mark the location where a person was last seen in the water. Lifeguard: A person with a current National Lifeguard certification appointed by the owner or operator to supervise bather safety and maintain surveillance over bathers while they are on the deck or in the pool. Owner: The person or corporation who is the owner of an aquatic facility. Operator: The trained individual designated by the owner to be responsible for the day-to-day operation of an aquatic facility. Supervised Waterfront: A waterfront is an outdoor, artificial or natural shoreline alongside a body of water, that may include docks or piers, that may be used for aquatic activities such as swimming, wading, diving, or aquatic sports. A supervised waterfront is a waterfront that provides lifeguards/beach patrol as part of its operation. Rationale Lifeguards who supervise waterfront areas should have equipment that allows them to effectively supervise the designated area and respond appropriately in emergency situations. Implementation The following equipment should be available and present at all times, in good working order, checked daily for breakdowns or faults, and easily accessible in case of an emergency: Lifeguard uniforms readily identified as such.
