The Mediterranean Lifesaving Confederation is an ally organization of the following:
The International Lifesaving Federation (ILS) is the world authority for drowning prevention, lifesaving and lifesaving sport. The ILS leads, supports and collaborates with national and international organisations engaged in drowning prevention, water safety, water rescue, lifesaving, lifeguarding and lifesaving sport. Its vision is a world free from drowning. It is composed of national aquatic lifesaving organisations (Member Federations) from around the world. Through its own work and that of its Member Federations, ILS leads the global effort to reduce injury and death in, on, or around the water. It accomplishes this by assisting existing national lifesaving organisations; facilitating and developing a global exchange of drowning prevention and lifesaving information and of best lifesaving practices; helping establish lifesaving organisations in areas of the world where they are needed, but do not exist; acting as the International Federation for lifesaving sport; and cooperating with other international bodies with shared goals. The Greek Lifesaving Sports Association is a Corresponding Member of ILSE.
