Our association

Our story goes back more than twenty years…

In 2000, we launched the lifeguard service with a handful team on some beaches at Lake Balaton …

In the season of 2019, at over eighty locations, hundreds of skilled, well-prepared young people were on duty in VMSZ uniforms, scanning the water and watching the beach every day, from opening to closing, to take care of the people at the beach and help out when needed. Our boat service was present on Lake Balaton with nine boats and highly qualified personnel to provide the fastest and most effective assistance in case of trouble. We took part in almost every event on the Lake Balaton – open water and waterside - to assure them. In 2016, we deployed an ambulance car on the northern shore of Lake Balaton, so since then we have been available not only on water but also on land for those in need.

We believe in our work and the importance of prevention for over twenty years. When it comes to water rescue: we are the best!

We are growing every year, but we have been working as a team since the beginning together, and we are proud of our joint achievements.

We are grateful to our partners and supporters, the executives and employees of the beaches who work with us, for their attitude in helping and supporting our work.

We will continue the dedicated work we have started for over twenty years with unbroken momentum and perseverance.

Our goal is to make Lake Balaton the safest lake in Europe!
