Every few years, the ILS brings together its member organisations and the world's leading researchers, practitioners and policy makers to present and discuss the latest research and thinking in life saving practice, sport, prevention, rescue and related fields at the World Conference on Drowning Prevention.

World Drowning Report

The World Drowning Report aims to define the current global drowning problem, to identify the current state of drowning mortality data collection, to provide strategies to enhance and encourage better data collection and to provide opportunities for global learning from case profiles of countries with well- developed reporting systems and mechanisms.

Dr. Ian Mackie Medical Fellowship

ILS established a Medical Fellowship to provide young lifesavers and lifeguards with a link to the ILS Medical Committee continuing Dr. Mackie’s belief in the importance of the link between medical issues and their practical application by lifesavers and lifeguards.
