WHO ARE WE

The Vancouver Lifeguard Association (VLA) is a non-profit organization based

out of the Metro Vancouver area. Since 2003 the VLA has mentored over

1000 youth through their indoor Junior Lifeguard Clubs and outdoor Beach

Alert Camps at Kitsilano Beach and Pool. Within the VLA we strive to support

and promote water safety education in the community, including providing

volunteer lifeguards and first aid opportunities for major public events.
