List of world records in life saving

The world records in life saving are ratified by ILS, 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. 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).
