Lifeguards Without Borders
Lifeguards Without Borders is an international non-profit organization made up of volunteer lifeguards and health care professionals who aim to reduce drowning worldwide through domestic and international training, program development, and research. It was organized by doctors Justin Sempsrott and Andrew Schimdt in 2006, and is an international division of the American Red Cross Volunteer Lifesaving Corps, which has provided volunteer lifeguards to beaches in the United States since 1912. The group's projects have included lifeguard instructor training programs in Peru; teaching EMS, nursing and physician courses; performing medical research on drowning; donating whistles, buoys, and rescue boards; and providing additional lifeguards for large scale events, such as Carnaval in Ecuador. The organization partners with other international lifesaving and drowning prevention organizations to provide logistical, educational, and resource support.〔
==Origins==
Lifeguards Without Borders began as part of the American Red Cross Volunteer Life Saving Corps, with the goal of sending volunteer lifeguards to regions with high drowning risk.〔 Also known as “Salvavidas International”,
volunteers for Lifeguards Without Borders are primarily medical students who, in addition to guarding some of the most dangerous beaches in the world, also teach water safety and training to many of the communities with which they volunteer. Although many of the volunteers do go on to medical careers, many still choose professions outside of the healthcare field. The volunteer lifeguard program was founded by Justin Sempsrott, M.D., and Andrew Schmidt in 2006, who saw a need for lifesaving techniques to be spread across the globe, helping to combat high drowning rates in areas without access to lifeguards or information about drowning The organization aims to keep their focus broad and train people in the basics of water safety instead of sending lifeguards to specific locations. They believe that this creates a self-sustaining system.
