We are delighted to receive positive feedback from our workplaces in both Lake Balaton and the countryside. The following letters tell a lot regarding our partners' opinions about us and our long-term cooperation. We are proud of the good working relationships we have established so far, and our priority is to build similarly well-functioning new relationships because we believe in the power of collaboration.

We hope we can introduce your letter here soon!

“Since the early 2000s, VMSZ lifeguards have been serving on the beaches of Révfülöp during the summer months, so that beach guests can take a bath and exercise under the supervision of qualified lifeguards, which will definitely improve the quality of service at Révfülöp beaches. Those who want to go to the beach prefer to go to a beach where they can keep their families and themselves safe. … Géza Kondor, Mayor of Révfülöp and Sándor Bagyó, President of VMSZ agree that the kind of cooperation that has been operating between the town and the Association for years, has been fruitful and has a lot of positive benefits for both parties. It is reassuring to the mayor that Révfülöp is waiting for its guests with safe beaches secured by VMSZ lifeguards and a strong professional and technical background, and VMSZ is pleased to be able to work with an open, supportive management, beach operators and staff who will greatly facilitate the work of lifeguards in their daily lives. I would like to continue to maintain this well-established cooperation, to enrich it with new ideas and common projects. Géza Kondor said that based on the good experience of previous years, he has the utmost confidence in the high quality service provided by VMSZ. As before, he continues to imagine working with the Water Rescue Services of Hungary. Sándor Bagyó said he was pleased that the Municipality of Révfülöp had managed to establish such a well-functioning, smooth professional relationship, and he is looking forward to working together further, because it is a pleasure to work with Révfülöp. This cooperation is a guarantee that the beaches of Révfülöp will continue to be offered with high quality services and VMSZ lifeguards in 2020.”

For the eighth year since the launch of the Winter Sailing Race Series, we have been working closely with Water Rescue Services of Hungary. They always do their job professionally, so we try to act like a partner in our own way: we have provided space for a press conference on several occasions, but we are also proud to host the VMSZ Ball for the second time this year. We were the first port of Lake Balaton to conclude the BalatonHelp service for all our sailboats, which our tenants were delighted to receive! They have a professional solution to all our crazy ideas, so they also secured the first Balatonlelle Ice Carnival, where we made the famous ice duck and ice cream swarm out of Lake Balaton’s ice.

We met competent, sympathetic, open-minded colleagues. Thank you for your cooperation and hope we can count on them in the future.”

“Dear Lifeguard Service! This year, the lifeguards assigned to Balatonakali Beach performed their service according to the usual high standards. The usual cutting injuries and stings were solved with their help. The attitude of the colleagues and the communication from both the service staff and the liaison and managing staff was highly positive. The safe operation of the beach was continuously facilitated, the work of the beach caretaker was supported and the necessary information and instructions were given in a timely manner. Their equipment was kept in good order, carefully handled, and protected. There was a major event, a successful resuscitation, in which rescuers, first responders, and shore personnel all participated. All participants did their job and as a team we passed the exam very well! Thanks to all colleagues! Thank you for your work, hoping for further successful cooperation… ”

It is a huge task and responsibility to secure the Zánka camp, which VMSZ colleagues have solved professionally this year.

I would also like to point out that during this season, the VMSZ colleagues' behavior was exemplary in their assigned accommodation."
