Popis: Drowning is a common cause of death and disability worldwide. We report the experience of Ecuador, a middle-income country, where a lifeguard training program was implemented to reduce incidents of drowning. We describe how “Project Ecuador” was able to expand from one to 20 beaches in a five-year period. We detail how these interventions triggered the creation of a self-sustained national program and a law proposal that guarantee a safe environment across the Ecuadorian coastal region.
