National Standard

The result of over a decade of our training and development of Lifeguard Services in Mexico and in cooperation with various Fire Departments on the Baja Peninsula and mainland Mexico have led to the development of a 

National Ocean Lifeguard Competency Standard for Mexico, 

adopted and endorsed by the federal agencies SEP and CONOCER!! 

The Surf Lifesaving del Sur Team are dedicated water safety advocates whom have spent decades promoting and training individuals in drowning prevention and aquatic lifesaving techniques. 

A 100% Volunteer based non-profit, Team members do not receive any compensation. 

Surf Lifesaving del Sur was founded in 2004 by Laine Pepper and Jimmy Canale.

Surf Lifesaving del Sur’s vision is to continue expanding the training and response capabilities of existing lifeguards, while elevating lifeguard personnel and equipment to the professional level, providing residents of Mexico and tourists with an international standard in aquatic safety. 

We intend to further our impact in drowning prevention through public education and information. Ultimately, our efforts will be to create perpetual funding for lifesaving services in Mexico through aquatic programs, government funding, corporate sponsorship, and private donations.
