More than 60 lifeguards from across Canada will put their lifesaving skills to the test this weekend.<\/p>\n
Brock University will host the Canadian Lifeguard Emergency Response Championships Saturday, May 13 and Sunday, May 14 in the Walker Sports Complex.<\/p>\n
Organized by the Lifesaving Society, the championships are an opportunity for lifeguards \u2014 whose first priority is saving lives \u2014 to get competitive with their craft.<\/p>\n
Lifeguards on 17 different teams from Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec and Nova Scotia will compete in events that simulate real lifesaving and lifeguarding rescues such as first aid, priority assessment and water rescue.<\/p>\n
Because the competition is taking place throughout the weekend, there will be free family fun swims on Saturday and Sunday from 1\u20143:30 p.m. There may be some interruptions as the competition will be running, but the public are encouraged to attend and be part of the event.<\/p>\n
