LAUDERDALE\, FL.\, June 19th\, 2017– ISHOF: The International Swimming Hall of Fame will host a fascinating and visionary “Conference on Near-Death Experiences While Drowning”\, on Friday\, August 18th\, 2017.\nSince its inception in 1965\, ISHOF has been the “Mecca of Aquatics\,” bringing together many fascinating people and acting as the facilitator for knowledge exchange. This conference aims to bring attention to near-death experiences during a drowning episode\, a very important issue largely neglected by most aquatic safety professionals. \n“I could see\, floating in the air\, the lifeguards attempting to resuscitate a lifeless body; it was mine.” “I saw a bright light that asked me\, in a life review\, what I have done in my life for love and learning.” “I felt peace and no fear of death.”\nThese are the words of people reporting what they experienced during the time they “died” temporarily during a drowning episode\, as reported by Holden and Avramidis in their book Near-Death Experiences While Drowning. Such Reports are termed near-death experiences (NDEs). Contemporary advances in cardiopulmonary resuscitation and defibrillation have enabled lifeguards and first responders to bring large numbers of victims back to life\, heretofore unprecedented in human history. Of the millions of those who survive drowning each year\, approximately 20% of survivors report NDEs. \nOften when victims report their NDEs to health care providers and first responders\, due to lack of information\, the confidantes may label the experience or experiencer as pathological. However\, research shows no relationship between NDEs and mental disorder. When a Near Death Experience is discounted\, it becomes psychologically disconcerting to survivors. Similarly\, the survivors or their families may believe that the experiencers have lost touch with reality. Presenters at this conference will discuss NDE characteristics that a successfully resuscitated drowning casualty might report; provide a sample of drowning NDE accounts; offer recommendations for how water safety and other healthcare professionals can use NDE related information in their work; and\, include a poster session open to any water safety- and aquatic-related professional to provide information relevant to drowning in terms of prevention\, rescue\, and treatment. This conference will provide a day of insight into this unique phenomenon\, along with providing useful professional information for first responders and medical personnel. \nConference presenters include: Bruce Wigo¸ J.D.\, ISHOF President and CEO\, discussing the importance of hosting a conference on Drowning Related NDEs; Stathis Avramidis\, DipEd\, BEd\, MSc\, MPH\, PhD\, Hellenic Centre for Disease Control and Prevention\, Seasonal Instructor of Applied Lifeguarding and Lifesaving Sport at the University of Athens\, Greece\, Greece\, who will discuss the “NDE Mnemonic” and NDE Protocol”: Two Useful Tools for Lifeguards; Dr. Janice Miner Holden\, Professor of Counseling and Chair of the Department of Counseling and Higher Education\, University of North Texas (UNT)\, who will present\, “Near-Death Experiences: An Overview of 40 Years of Research”. Other speakers include: Audrey C. Dalton\, survivor of a drowning incident who will recount her Near Death Experience; John Spannuth\, President and CEO\, United States Water Fitness Association who will discuss the Importance of Swimming and Lifeguard Lessons; and Aquatics and Drowning Prevention professional Kim Burgess\, who will discuss why learning about drowning is informative to Aquatic Safety Professionals\, First Responders and Survivor Families. \nConference information can be found online at https://drowningnde.blogspot.com/ . Conference registration is available on the ISHOF website. Luncheon and refreshments are included in the conference fees. Please note in addition to conference fees\, City of Ft. Lauderdale parking fees will apply for all parking facilities\, including the International Swimming Hall of Fame.

This continues the highly successful series of Masterclass Conferences and Workshops\, following an over twelve-year partnership programme of exchange visits of first responders and managers\, including volunteers\, from the UK\, wider Europe\, Australia and US. To date several hundred UK and international delegates have attended workshops hosted by colleagues in the US\, and acquired the highest value tactical water rescue skillsets and knowledge. (The conference is recognised by the IFE as a CPD qualifying event – usually over 60 hours!)Real world extreme weather set challenges in the water and flood rescue field\, reinforcing the need to share vital knowledge to support response\, strategic management and tactics. Challenges for the future come not only from the old foe the weather but budget matters in trying to form services of the highest efficiencies – knowledge and proficiency is vital for community protection. \nAn intense programme in techniques and of immersion involvement in development to make the most of the investment in time and budget\, but also there will be ample opportunity to network with fellow responders in this vital work. A tightened high intensity programme will focus on techniques for example SAR in both river search and wide area search operations and multiple boat operations along with the use of ‘SAR UAS’ (drones) for reconnaissance and search – what does this mean for the future (?)\, and so it goes on. With an emphasis on working in the field (from the out of Charlotte city hotel base) for the first five days with night boat rescue operations and navigation techniques to the fore supplemented with “HART” – the mountain and helo-aquatic rescue (helicopter operations) and reconnaissance techniques. Supplemented by a ‘Dive Rescue Station 38’ visit for further technical input on dive SAR operations and specialist fire and rescue boat operations. An ambitious and intense level of inputs\, intended to be enjoyable as well for a satisfactory development programme. \nTarget Audience profile: those responsible for strategy\, response and tactical operations to include SAR operators\, government representatives\, specialist flood and water response staff and senior managers\, flood incident managers\, instructors\, tactical advisers and those responsible for specialist rescue training or procurement of flood and water rescue response apparatus and services. An opportunity for managers and tacticians to share their protocols for the benefit of all. \nTraining Costs: our hosts in Charlotte assist by providing support for international guests in conjunction with the support service partner Professional Rescue. There’s a “Training Course Fee”; in addition to which is the airfare and transport to and from your base to Charlotte\, USA – which you will arrange. \nDeadline\nRegistering for this event is on a first come basis\, available places are restricted due to the unique water rescue and Helo-aquatic operations in the field – we would wish to know of confirmed interest to register as soon as possible please. \nIf you would like to secure a place(s) at the Masterclass 2017\, or would like further information\, please contact me.\nAdrian Mayhew\nEmail: amayhew@slsgb.org.uk URL:https://www.ilsf.org/event/2017-international-floodfighter-emergency-management-flood-and-water-rescue-master-class-hosted-by-charlotte-fire-department-usa-2/ CATEGORIES:Training & Courses END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20170220 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20170226 DTSTAMP:20181129T155428Z CREATED:20181129T155428Z LAST-MODIFIED:20181129T155428Z UID:5842-1487548800-1488067199@www.ilsf.org SUMMARY:Stage International de Sauvetage (Junior) DESCRIPTION:Agadir URL:https://www.ilsf.org/event/stage-international-de-sauvetage-junior-2/ CATEGORIES:Training & Courses END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20161108 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20161111 DTSTAMP:20181129T155430Z CREATED:20181129T155430Z LAST-MODIFIED:20181129T155430Z UID:5860-1478563200-1478822399@www.ilsf.org SUMMARY:ILS Asia-Pacific Sport Development Workshop DESCRIPTION:ILS Asia-Pacific is conducting a lifesaving sport workshop comprising a number of theory and practical sessions delivered by relevant experts in their fields and supported by emerging coaches targeted at beach/ocean lifesaving coaches. This project will be under the guidance and support of ILS Asia Pacific and its key developed Member Organisations.\nBackground \nThe International Life Saving Federation (ILS) is the world authority for drowning prevention\, lifesaving and lifesaving sport. ILS leads\, collaborates and partners with national and international organisations to prevent drowning\, to promote the provision of lifesaving services and oversee lifesaving sport throughout the world. \nILS promotes and organises lifesaving sports and regularly organises international aquatic lifesaving competitions in order to stimulate the interest of competitors to improve their ability and willingness to save people who are in danger in the aquatic environment. Lifesaving sport helps develop the lifesavers’ skills\, knowledge and techniques\, and plays an important role in providing opportunities to enhance global relationships among ILS Member Organisations. \nLifesaving sport engages youth and adults from all nations in the mutual pursuit of excellence in lifesaving. The global focus on cooperation and teamwork to reduce the burden of drowning is a compelling opportunity. Increasing the participation of youth in lifesaving sport is part of the engagement strategy. Lifesaving sport is an important component of this mission. \nThis Project will provide an opportunity for the International Life Saving Federation (ILS) Asia Pacific Region to further develop capacity and capability in the sport of beach/ocean lifesaving within its member organisations. \nStrategic \nOne of the primary goals of the ILS within its Strategic Framework 2016 to 2020 is to “expand the scope\, reach and recognition of lifesaving sport.” \nFurther\, the ILS Asia Pacific Regional Plan 2016 to 2020 has identified Sport development as a priority area. Specifically\, “a coordinated approach to working together to develop lifesaving sport athletes\, officials and event managers\, increasing the number and quality of sport development opportunities by linking to existing events\, running workshops and engaging in the Lifesaving World Championships in our region.” \nThis project will deliver on a key strategic goal of ILS and its Asia Pacific Region. \nProject \nProject Title: Lifesaving as a Sport – Beach/Ocean Coaching Workshop \nProject purpose: To deliver a lifesaving sport workshop targeted at beach/ocean lifesaving coaches that draws together those ILS Member Organsisations where their respective lifesaving sport program is developing or emerging and which needs further skill development. This project will be under the guidance and support of ILS Asia Pacific and its key developed Member Organisations. \nProject objective: To stimulate and facilitate increased lifesaving sport activity through focusing on coaching to build local capacity in beach/ocean lifesaving sport knowledge\, skill and networks which with ongoing guidance and assistance will lead to a improved sporting opportunities and also contribute to a reduction in drowning death and injury across the Asia Pacific Region. \nProject overview: The project is essentially a workshop comprising of both therory and practical sessions held in a strategic regional location that enables targeted ILS Member Organisations while minimising costs of participation. \nThe activities would include: \nA beach/ocean lifesaving sport coaching program that comprises a number of theory and practical sessions delivered by relevant experts in their fields and supported by emerging coaches.\nParticipation in a beach/ocean lifesaving competition whereby program participants can put their new learning to practice while under the supervision and mentorship. The workshop will also foster:\nSharing of information on lifesaving sport and coaching\nSharing of information on coaching plans\, monitoring and evaluation\nDevelop strategies\, tactics and mechanisms that will lead to sustainable actions. \nProject timing: During the period Wednesday\, 7 December to Sunday 11 December 2016. \nLocation: Phuket\, Thailand. \nMain Hotel is the Andaman Embrace Resort\, Patong – web site at http://www.andamanembrace.com/\nNOTE: The owner of the Resort has provided special rates for the Workshop at 50% normal rates\nThe beach/ocean competition will be held on Patong Beach in conjunction with the Phuket Surf Lifesaving Competition 2016 on Saturday\, 10 December 2016.

That we need extensive discussion on the subject across the country is of no doubt. Most accidents involve the young and are avoidable through greater safety consciousness. It is difficult to understand the public resistance to taking simple safety precautions like wearing a helmet while riding a two wheeler\, putting on safety belt in a car\, wearing lifejackets when in a boat or simply looking before leaping! It is not so much about first aid or lifesaving in water but more about public attitude to personal safety considerations. This needs to undergo a radical change that can be achieved only through education and public debate. \nAcquiring skills to help a person in distress is thus the key to increased safety of people and reducing untimely deaths in avoidable accidents. Accidental deaths on land are visible through gore and blood but those in water are silent\, invisible and less understood. In fact\, drowning poses a great threat to public health as India accounts for approx 23% of the global drowning (1 million people). This number is higher than lives lost to malaria\, cholera or dengue. \nIt is good to take a cue from the West\, where a structured process supports lifesaving activities and reduces human attrition. Organisations such as UNICEF\, Royal Life Saving Society Australia and TASC (The Alliance for Safe Children) have helped reduce the numbers of deaths due to drowning in Bangladesh by implementing SwimSafe program which teaches children to swim and survive an accidental fall in deep water. Speedo International and Australian Government are working with the Rashtriya Life Saving Society (India) to implement Swim N Survive programme and lifeguard training in South India. \nAbout the Seminar\nRashtriya Life Saving Society\, Mahratta Chambers of Commerce\, Industry and Agriculture and\, the Indian Maritime Foundation shall jointly present the seminar\, ‘Saving Lives and Building Communities’ on the 4th shall be attended by eminent International and Indian speakers and delegates from the sector\, corporate and government. of June 2014 from 9 am 2 pm at the MCCIA Auditorium. The conference \nThe seminar will revolve around 4 major themes of discussion: \nCreating and Omnipresent Force – to bring about a change in the mind set of the public to add value to life with an omnipresent force alert and vigilant to save lives.\nGlobal Efforts towards Drowning Prevention – to provide the audience with an insight into global effort to reduce incidents of drowning. Globally\, drowning is the third largest cause of unintentional death amongst children.\nCSR Role in Saving Lives – to allow corporate bodies to address the audience elucidating the role of the corporate support to save lives in India and their plans for the future.\nPolicy and Standards for Saving Lives – to engage the audience and apprise it of the efforts being taken by the Government towards reducing accidents and resultant deaths on land and in water. \nObjectives of the Seminar\nCreating a structured process in support of lifesaving activity on land and in water to inculcate safety consciousness among the masses.\nTo discuss global methods to reduce deaths due to drowning with a view to adopt them or innovate fresh procedures to apply in the field to reduce drowning accidents. As per the Planning Commission\, India loses Rs. 65\,000 Crores every year on account of young lives lost in accidents.\nTo elicit corporate views on possible CSR Role in Saving Lives and impact of the effort in the past\, at present and expected in the future.\nRecommend Policy and Standards to be set by the Government to add value to life in country. \nThere are many organisations working to reduce accidents on land but hardly any that addresses drowning. RLSS (I) has evolved a structured process to deal with the epidemic of drowning and has plans and projects to: \nTrain the youth as lifesavers\, lifeguards and lifesaving sports persons to provide them with employment avenues and facilitate new career pathways along with enhanced safety in their vicinity.\nTrain children from schools\, especially those from lower income families in the Swim N Survive program. The program empowers children with skills to survive a fall in deep water. It also provides them with an opportunity to engage in sport to live healthier and more meaningful lives.\nDevelop standards for safety at aquatic venues both manmade and natural\, conduct audits of these venues and provide up to date information for safer swimming and safer operations at these locations. \nSchedule of the Seminar \n0900 – 0930 – Arrival and Registration.\n0935 – 0945 — Welcome Address by the Director General of MCCIA.\n0950 – 1000 – Seminar Introduction by Cmde Rajan Vir\, Founder President\, IMF.\n1005 – 1015 – Relevance of the Seminar to MCCIA by Mr. Surendra K Jain\, President\, MCCIA.\n1020 – 1030 — Keynote address by Rear Admiral P D Sharma\, Founder President\, RLSS (I).\n1035 – 1045 – Reading of Letter from Prince Michael of Kent\, President Royal Life Saving Society (Common Wealth) followed by “Lifesaver of the Year” award presentation by Mr. John Long\, Patron RLSS (I) and Past Secretary General\, RLSS (CW) – Guest of Honour.\n1045 — Address by the Chief Guest – Prof. Dr S.

Rashtriya Life Saving Society\, a PAN Indian NGO headquartered from Pune has been instrumental in reducing the number of deaths due to drowning in the city by training lifeguards and undertaking swimming pool audits. In 2010\, this number was brought down to zero. The effort now needs a sustained and structured method to continue to maintain the safety record. \nAbout the Mahratta Chambers of Commerce\, Industry and Agriculture: MCCIA has been playing a significant role in accelerating the industrial and economic development of Pune region for more than seven decades now. It is one of the most active chambers of Commerce in India and has been instrumental in promoting number of institutions in Pune. MCCIA has continuously driven to make Pune a global business destination and has been catalyst for economic development of the region. \nThrough its large and varied membership\, infrastructure and a strong will to help\, MCCAI has been serving the industry and the community well through arranging meetings\, talks\, lectures\, seminars\, industrial and entrepreneur exhibitions. \nAbout the Indian Maritime Foundation: was established in December 1993 by a group of sea farers to rekindle maritime interest among people in India particularly children and the youth. Once a great maritime nation\, India has lost much by turning its back to the Ocean. IMF is dedicated to our country regaining its maritime heritage through a variety of activities like research in India’s maritime heritage\, co-ordinate Coastal Cleanup\, increase awareness about the Oceans\, underwater technology and bring out the quarterly journal the “Sea Gull”. The Indian Maritime Foundation is a ‘not for profit’ organization\, registered in Pune as a charitable trust. It has branches in Delhi\, Mumbai and Chennai. \nFor more details contact: Ankit..8888855919 Or Dipali..7304638357 URL:https://www.ilsf.org/event/saving-lives-and-building-communities-seminar-2/ CATEGORIES:Conferences END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20140601 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20140604 DTSTAMP:20181129T155446Z CREATED:20181129T155446Z LAST-MODIFIED:20181129T155446Z UID:5981-1401580800-1401839999@www.ilsf.org SUMMARY:G3 - International Maritime Mass Rescue Conference DESCRIPTION:http://www.international-maritime-rescue.org/index.php/pages?view=event&event_id=12 URL:https://www.ilsf.org/event/g3-international-maritime-mass-rescue-conference-2/ CATEGORIES:Conferences END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20140428 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20140502 DTSTAMP:20181129T155459Z CREATED:20181129T155459Z LAST-MODIFIED:20181129T155459Z UID:6062-1398643200-1398988799@www.ilsf.org SUMMARY:XIIth International Symposium for Biomechanics and Medicine in Swimming DESCRIPTION:Hosted by the AIS in cooperation with the Australian National University’s John Curtin School of Medicine and Swimming AustraliaAustralian Institute of Sports in Canberra AustraliaWeb site to be confirmedEmail: BMS2014@ausport.gov.au URL:https://www.ilsf.org/event/xiith-international-symposium-for-biomechanics-and-medicine-in-swimming-2/ CATEGORIES:Lifesaving Calendar END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20131127 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20131201 DTSTAMP:20181129T155448Z CREATED:20181129T155448Z LAST-MODIFIED:20181129T155448Z UID:5995-1385510400-1385855999@www.ilsf.org SUMMARY:XIII Brazilian Lifesaving Championship and Symposium DESCRIPTION:National Brazilian event on lifesaving – XIII Brazilian Lifesaving Championship and Symposium will be by the first time in the North of the country\, which has the highest death rates in Brazil.
