First Brazilian Lifeguard Tower
The first organized
lifesaving service was founded in 1918, in Rio de
Janeiro City
Since then, many other services have been created around the country.
From 1984, the military firefighters took over the responsibility for lifesaving in
each state of Brazil

12 YEARS OF BRAZILIAN LIFESAVING
SOCIETY - SOBRASADid we make any difference?
Our purpose were to evaluate if the prevention concept of ILS and SOBRASA makes any difference to drowning
mortality in Brazil.
Methods to test the hypothesis:• Brazilian drowning death rates from 1979 to 2003 (death certificates in States).
• 2 different 9 years periods: 1987 to 1995 and 1995 to 2003 (median death
rate/100.000 inhabitants).
• Relevant change in death rates > 10% from one period to another.
• State Services were classify:
• Full Member (FM) >= 3 prevention programs
• Associate Members (AM) >= 1 prevention program,
• Correspondent Members (CM) – No prevention program but at
least lifeguard on duty.
• No Contacts (NC) until early 2007.

There was no important difference from 1979 (5,42) to 1987
(5,35/100.000) and this period was excluded from analysis.
• 1987 (5,35) to 1995 (4,91) the mortality reduction was 8,3%
• 1995 (4,91) to 2003 (3,78) the mortality reduction was 23%.

Bias to be Considered• To evaluate a prevention campaign on drowning using only
the worst endpoint – death - is not an exact tool, although it is the most trustful.
• Prevention measures take time to produce an effect on rates, especially death.
• Death rates were considered for a whole State instead of counties or cities. This may be “unfair” or inexact with some lifeguard services that may accomplish an excellent result.

Conclusion• A significant reduction in mortality from 1979 to 2003 = 30,2%.
• From 1979 to 1987 the drowning mortality death rates was unchanged.
• There was a decrease in death rates in the two period evaluated, but was much
more positive from 1995 to 2003 = 73%. This reduction was related especially to
Full Members States.
• Many factors are related to these improvement in death rates,
• The improvement on the firefighter’s lifesaving service,
• The increase on propaganda on drowning prevention,
• The increase on prevention programs to children, and
• An improvement on pre-hospital attendance.
12 YEARS OF BRAZILIAN LIFESAVING SOCIETYDid we make any difference?
Although we have no way to demonstrate how much knowledge
exchange and prevention programs done by ILS and SOBRASA
during these years (1995 to 2003) were responsible for these
positive results, we understand that SOBRASA was definitely a
landmark on drowning in our country and will in the near future
reduce more dramatically the trends on drowning.
