Instructors & Trainers

Teaching is an exciting and demanding job. As a teacher you are a model of the skills, teaching behaviours, and qualities that you talk about. Candidates will learn as much from the example you set as they will from the content itself.

All Lifesaving Society Instructors, Trainers, National Trainers and Coaches are considered Leadership Volunteers. A Leadership Volunteer is certified, by the Lifesaving Society, to teach and evaluate Lifesaving Society programs.

The Lifesaving Society maintains a Leadership Training Event Calendar for programs scheduled by the Branch.

Program Delivery

The Society is committed to working with our program delivery partners to develop and deliver consistent and reliable programming based on our drowning and aquatic injury research. Our delivery partners support the Lifesaving Society through the delivery of our training programs. Our delivery partners include affiliated facilities, organizations and individuals that are licensed to deliver Lifesaving Society programs to the community. Affiliates must comply with the license agreement and maintain the quality and integrity of Lifesaving Society programs.

All Lifesaving Society training programs share a consistent philosophy, look, design, and training methodology. We maintain our quality programs through the publishing of resource materials for our affiliates to use in the delivery of Lifesaving Society programs and services.
