International Lifesaving Federation Of Europe Ilse

Our members are representing more than 5 million Lifesavers and Lifeguards all over Europe. Through our own work and that of our Member Federations, we lead the global effort to reduce injury and death in, on, or around the water. We aid in the global exchange of lifesaving information, promote the best lifesaving practices, help establish lifesaving organizations in areas of Europe where they are needed, act as the European Federation for lifesaving sport, and work with other international bodies with similar goals. The mission statement of ILS is to link together and support the National Federations of the World which are concerned with safety and the preservation of human life in the aquatic envi­ronment. The goal is to reduce the drowning rate in oceans, rivers, lakes and swim­ming pools.
