Do we understand the rescue equipment located by the water?
The fundamental idea behind WaterSmart is:
1. Everyone should be able to float
2. Everyone should be able to save themselves
3. Everyone should be able to save others

WaterSmart
To foster better knowledge of water safety in local communities, we have collaborated with various local organizations, DGI's Ocean Rescue Camps, and local municipalities.
Through structured activities and games called WaterSmart, we help children and young people understand how to navigate open water safely. For us, it is essential that water safety education is approachable and relatable, which is why we tailor and adjust our activities to suit each target audience.

LifeBoard Pop-Up
We visit your local LifeBoard beach. Here you can swim on a LifeBoard and throw a lifebuoy. We'll stop by and talk to locals and tourists about how we can all contribute to water safety.
LifeBoard can be part of an already planned program or be a standalone activity at your profile beach, Blue Flag beach or local bathing spot.

Research
n Denmark, there is unfortunately limited knowledge about rescue equipment, how to use it, and the significant impact it can have on the outcome of a drowning incident.
At LifeBoard, we are committed to changing that. That’s why we continuously conduct user studies by the water.
We do this through "split tests in the water," data collection, and studies on user behavior. Most recently, in collaboration with Aalborg University, we investigated the level of fatigue associated with various types of rescue equipment.
Water Safety Ambassadors
Does your club or organization want to increase awareness about rescue equipment and what to do in a drowning incident? Below, you can apply for LifeBoards and an activity package for training children and young people in open water.
