The small central Alberta city of Camrose is producing some of the best young competitive lifesavers in the country.
Five young swimmers from Camrose will be heading to Riccione, Italy for the International Lifesaving World Championships this fall.
The sport involves "a variety of competitions to further develop and demonstrate lifesaving skills, fitness and motivation," according to the Lifesaving Society.
Canada's youth team will consist of 12 athletes from across the country, including three from Camrose. Two other swimmers from Camrose were named as alternates to the team.
