New USCG Approved LIFE RING Makes A Splash At The World’s Largest Swimming Lesson™ (WLSL) in Palm Bay, Florida
The innovative new USCG Approved rescue LIFE RING™ buoy makes a splash at the World’s Largest Swimming Lesson™ (WLSL) in Palm Bay, Florida.
Palm Bay Fire Rescue and the Palm Bay Recreation Department teamed up with the Florida Swimming Pool Association at the Palm Bay Aquatic Center for the World’s Largest Swimming Lesson™ with the purpose of teaching about water safety and awareness.
The World’s Largest Swimming Lesson™ is a drowning prevention event launched by the World Waterpark Association. The program takes place at all types of aquatic facilities and is supported by leading aquatics and safety organizations around the world.
The USCG Approved rescue LIFE RING™ was demonstrated at the event where children were able to practice tossing the LIFE RING™ into the pool and pulling the LIFE RING™ while a victim was holding onto it.
The LIFE RING was created and is marketed by eLifeguard.com, a leading brand in water safety and rescue products that operates worldwide. eLifeguard.com is headquartered in Rockledge, Florida and has been in operation for over 25 years. Among the company’s other product offerings are its EVERONDACK® brand lifeguard chairs and LIFE™ Rescue Tube.
The company stated that they have been working with the United States Coast Guard (USCG) for several years to ensure that the LIFE RING and its groundbreaking technology are fully compliant with and meet or exceed US Coast Guard regulations concerning lifesaving devices of this kind.
