Canadian Records
The Lifesaving Society Canada maintains and recognizes Canadian records for men and women in all open and age-group categories. Canadian records can only be set at a competition sanctioned by the Lifesaving Society Canada, or those international competitions and championships that have been sanctioned by the ILS sport commission.
Complete records are confirmed and maintained by the Lifesaving Society Ontario branch. If you have set a faster time than what is listed at a sanctioned competition (not a provincial, national or world championships), complete and submit the Lifesaving Sport Record Form.
