List of world records in life saving explained
The world records in life saving are ratified by ILS,[1] the International Life Saving Federation. Records can be set by registered competitors in the open category, as well as in youth and masters age groups.[2] Youth ranges from 15 to 18 years of age. Masters start at age 30, and competitors are bracketed into five-year age groups to promote fair competition. The 100m Obstacle Swim is an event only available to senior masters (50 years and above).[3]
