The Newfoundland and Labrador Branch of the Lifesaving Society joined as a member of the Royal Lifesaving Society on May 23, 1969 and is incorporated in Newfoundland and Labrador where it operates from the Branch Office in St. John's. The Branch's board of directors is composed of elected volunteers who employ staff to provide full-time administrative and program support to aquatic facilities and the general public. Volunteers direct the activities of the Society throughout the province and develop policies for the Branch.

Approximately 2,000 individuals in Newfoundland and Labrador are trained and certified annually in the awards of the Canadian Lifesaving Program. In addition, the Society reaches thousands of residents of the province with year-round and seasonal Water Smart® public education messages.

Other organizations, agencies and institutions support the goals of the Lifesaving Society. Among the national organizations with whom the Lifesaving Society works to ensure quality lifesaving education are:

• Canadian Red Cross
• National Council of YMCAs
• St. John Ambulance
• Royal Canadian Mounted Police
• Canadian Armed Forces
• Swimming/Natation Canada
