Lifesaving (sport)

Lifesaving, also known as lifesaving sport, is a group of sports disciplines based on the practices of lifesaving.

The sport is overseen by the International Life Saving Federation (ILS), which was established on 27 March 1910 in Paris. It is contested at the World Games, a multi-sport event for IOC-recognized sporting events that are not yet in the programme of the Olympic Games.
