The Royal Life Saving Society of Western Australia has participated in a project that has produced 1,000 pool lifeguards for India. The WA society originally sent two instructors, Tom Ballantyne and Gill Murrish, to India to train a team of potential lifesavers. In January 2003, six newly trained Indian lifeguards travelled to WA for further training. President of the Pune district branch of the Royal Life Saving Society of India, Sandhya Kotbagi, said that the lifeguard project had reduced swimming pool deaths in India by an estimated 20 per cent. Kotbagi said that the society hoped that the success of the program would contribute to the introduction of lifesavers on India's beaches.
