INTRODUCTION

The Hong Kong Life Saving Society , formerly known as 'The Hong Kong Life Guard Club', is a voluntary organization established in 1956. It is not only a full member but also a Founder Member of the International Life Saving Federation (ILS). Over the past sixty years, the mandate of the Society is continuously carried out by many dedicated volunteers bound to serve not only the Society but their fellow men, under the common motto 'Whomsoever you see in distress, recognize in them a fellow human being'. Aiming at combating aquatic-related accidents, the Society encourages everyone to participate in advocating water safety, lifesaving training, examinations and competitions so as to arouse the public awareness on water safety. Hitherto over 30,000 lives were saved by our lifesavers, and there are more than 100 affiliated clubs and over 10,000 persons involved actively.

In recent decades, the Society's work becomes more diversified. Apart from the lifeguarding standard upgrade, most latest lifesaving techniques would be developed and promoted, such as Jet Ski Rescue, IRB Rescue, Aquatic First Aid, Acupressure First Aid and International Referee Training, etc. which attracted overseas and local lifesavers to participate.
