| Sumario: | In 2006, the current regulation on lifesaving training in the autonomous region of Madrid (Spain) came into force. The aim of this study was to gain knowledge on the effect of the application of this regulation on the percentage of candidates who obtain a lifeguard certificate and on their water competence level. To this purpose, the time records achieved by 6,105 lifeguard candidates (4,288 men and 1,817 women) who received this training between 1993 and 2016 were analysed. The results showed that the percentage of candidates who have obtained a lifeguard certificate since the regulation came into force has increased, while their water competence level has decreased. Therefore, it is recommended that competent bodies establish aims and evaluati on criteria that contribute to increasing the water competence level of these professionals. |
