If you've ever caught some rays or splashed around at a guarded beach or pool, there's a good chance you've spotted the vigilant view of the German Life Saving Association (DLRG) lifeguards. Keeping a tight watch on swimmers, these heroes, with hearts as big as the sea, saved over 1,000 individuals last year! This impressive number isn't just limited to those rescued from drowning, but also encompasses individuals encountered beyond the water, dealing with heart attacks or related cardiac troubles.

In 2023, the DLRG marked a significant achievement with 1,120 lives being saved — of which an astounding 870 were saved directly from the water. The DLRG army, numbering over 50,000 of the most dedicated volunteers nationwide, manned waterways across Germany last year, all to ensure beach and water activities stay safe and fun. 🏊🐟

- In addition to their lifesaving efforts at beaches and pools, the German Life Saving Association (DLRG) also promotes vocational training for its lifesavers, offering courses in science, health-and-wellness, fitness-and-exercise, therapies-and-treatments, and sports.
- Last year, the DLRG lifesavers in Stuttgart and Bad Nenndorf not only saved lives in the water but also provided vocational training opportunities to local swimmers, empowering them with skills for jobs in various water-related industries.
- As the DLRG continues to evolve, it plans to expand its vocational training programs beyond water rescue, with a goal of preparing lifesavers for careers that support a holistic view of health and wellness, integrating water sports, fitness, and therapy practices.
