Welcome to the Internet information portal of the United States Lifesaving Association, America’s nonprofit association of beach lifeguards and open water rescuers.

Anyone interested in water safety, including educators, can learn ways to be safer when visiting the beach through our safety tips, rip current education, spinal injury prevention, water safety videos, and educational activities for teachers and students.

Lifeguards, junior lifeguards, and open water rescuers can use this site to become a member, update or renew your membership, learn and exchange information with other lifeguards, find out about upcoming meetings and competitions, review the latest lifesaving standards, and more. Log in or sign up today to enjoy the special benefits available only to members.
Lifeguard and other water rescue agency representatives can learn how to become nationally certified to USLA recommended standards for lifeguard agencies or aquatic rescue response teams, update their contact information, find training materials, download applications to attain and retain certification and visit the lifeguard library.

News media representatives can find national lifeguard statistics, review USLA water safety tips, understand the rip currents which cause over 80% of rescues by surf beach lifeguards, and to contact USLA officials for interviews.

Corporations interested in becoming sponsors or corporate members of the USLA can use this site to contact us about sponsorship opportunities or to sign up as corporate members.
