in Zambales Lifesaving training that, any lifeguard should<br />
practice CPR at least once a month.<br />
Most lifeguards in the Philippines come from Swimming<br />
or Surfing backgrounds, all of which have competitions of<br />
some sorts during the year, this is another are that needs<br />
some attention as there is fat too<br />
often clashes in events that cause a<br />
competitor to have to choose what to<br />
compete in when events clash, as there<br />
is no liaison between these groups<br />
as to setting dates that do not clash,<br />
a perfect example is that in March<br />
Zambales Lifesaving set and advertised<br />
it’s dates for moth it’s Nippers Carnival,<br />
lifesaving sports for kids 5 years to 17<br />
years and its Lifeguard Challenge for<br />
November 27 and 28 respectively, only<br />
to recently find out that a National<br />
swimming event and a surfing event were also scheduled<br />
some time later for the same dates, which has forced<br />
Zambales Lifesaving to reschedule these events to January<br />
27 and 28 next year, due to lack of participants brought<br />
about by the events being scheduled on the same dates.<br />
Ideally in the near future all organizations can get together<br />
and set dates that do not clash, this giving competitors more<br />
opportunities to compete.<br />
The Lifesaving Challenge run by Zambales Lifesaving is open<br />
to all lifeguards and all surfers that hold a water safety and<br />
rescue certification, additionally only<br />
The Lifesaving<br />
Challenge run by<br />
Zambales Lifesaving is<br />

rescue certification...<br />
one team member has to be certified<br />
to help spread lifesaving sports<br />
throughout the community and<br />
encourage more people to become or<br />
be capable of becoming lifesavers.<br />

Since 2013 all Lifeguards and Lifeguard training is by the<br />
Philippine Coast Guard and accredited training organizations,<br />
such as Zambales Lifesaving Inc. however as yet we have<br />
not seen a Philippine Coast Guard team compete is any<br />
lifesaving sports competitions that we know of, it would be<br />
nice to see them send a team sometime.
