Accreditation

The Lifesaving Society's aquatic safety accreditation program is designed to recognize those facilities that meet an operating standard in regards to public safety and reduced risk of water-related incidents. Facilities that are successful in their inspection or audit process may apply for accreditation.

The Lifesaving Society will award its Accredited Facility certificate, mounted on a wall plaque, after the Society receives the original inspection or audit report with the accreditation fee.

Renewal

Facilities are invited to renew their accreditation regularly. From their last accreditation, we recommend facilities apply for re-accreditation no more than: one year for seasonal facilities (i.e., summer-only facilities) and two years for year-round facilities. Accreditation and re-accreditation dates are noted on the Accredited Facility plaque.

Affiliates may renew their accreditation by being re-inspected or re-audited and forwarding their inspection or audit report with the accreditation fee to the Lifesaving Society. The renewal fee is the same as a first time accreditation fee.
