Inshore lifesaving
Surf lifesaving is a sport that originated in Australia. It began under the name of "Surf Life Saver" at Manly Beach (Sydney) in September 1902. At the time, swimming in the sea during the day was forbidden and even punishable by law. However, as swimming became more frequent, the Australian government had to allow it. The ocean soon showed its dangers, accidents increased and experienced volunteers organised themselves to help those in need.
But unlike the French lifeguards, the Australian lifeguards on the various beaches soon wanted to compete with each other. So the Australians began to regulate the sport of lifeguarding and the first lifeguard meeting was held at Bondi Beach (Sydney) in 1906.
The following year saw the creation of the New South Wales Surf and Swimming Association, which in 1991 became the current Surf Life Saving Association of Australia.
Today in France, lifesaving sport is a discipline in its own right, characterised by the diversity of its events:
- At sea or in the water, with or without a boat, these are 'coastal' events.
- In the pool, these are flat water events.
These spectacular events always attract large audiences and never tire. The rules that apply to each event are simple and easier for viewers to understand. Lifesaving sport, which is often practised with equipment, covers a wide range of disciplines, from swimming to kayaking. It takes place in local and worldwide competitions, with the same concern for performance.
