Establishing a National Standard
The result of over a decade of our training and development of Lifeguard Services in Mexico and 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 multi-day training program prepares students in the prevention of incidences and rescue techniques in diverse water environments dealing with a variety of victim circumstances.
In collaboration with
