Salutation by the International Swimming Hall of Fame
Drowning is a serious public health problem. Swimming and lifesaving prevent and save lives from drowning respectively. The International Swimming Hall of Fame endorses this pioneering symposium that underlines the drowning problem and celebrates the Olympic value of lifesaving sport. Congratulations to the Greek Lifesaving Sports Association, the Hellenic Olympic Committee, and everyone involved.
