Today marks 6 months to the day that the first event of the Lifesaving World Championships 2022 (LWC2022) starts in Riccione, Italy.
As the Covid-19 pandemic seems to be coming to an end in most countries, the ILS is happy that we can resume our activities. The ILS Event Management Committee has reviewed the excellent progress made by the LWC 2022 hosts, the Italian Lifesaving Federation (FIN) and is very pleased to confirm that LWC 2022 will definitely take place as planned from 21 September to 2 October.
Covid-19 forced us to reduce the programme to the following events:
- National Teams Open Championships: from 27/09 to 02/10.
- National Teams Youth Championships: from 27/09 to 02/10.
- Masters Championships: from 21/09 to 26/09.
Additionally, FIN will host an international Lifesaving competition, to be run alongside the Masters Championships, for all those Interclub competitors below the Masters age whose events have been cancelled:
- Rescue 2022 World Cup: from 21/09 to 26/09.
