Maybe someone can tell me more about this medal?

publius Pillar of the Community United States 807 Posts	Posted 07/27/2013 12:38 pm I like it! The edge marking must indicate the person it was issued to. I wonder if this was awarded for actually saving the life of a drowning person, or for the completion of an advanced training course in lifesaving, or what. Report this Post to the Staff

spg1 Valued Member Australia 363 Posts	Posted 07/27/2013 9:05 pm I believe it was part of the learn to swim drive started by Frank Beaurepaire in the 1920s & 30s where a program was initiated to teach kids at school. I think that this is like the original "pool bronze" award. You should make enquiries with the RLSS. Report this Post to the Staff
