Otake Surf Lifesaving Club carried out lifesaving promotion activities at the World Lifesaving Championship 2016 held in the Netherlands in September. We exchanged opinions with Kenya national team, Cameroon national team, and Hong Kong national team players on lifesaving activities in each country, and handed out Japanese patrol uniforms.
Lifesaving in developing countries faces social and economic difficulties not found in Japan. It was a very meaningful time as it was an opportunity to share different perspectives such as the way of thinking about life saving and the difference in the environment. I hope this activity can be used as an opportunity for further exchanges.
