Otake Surf Life Saving Club

 We in Tsukuba lifesaving club belong to Otake Surf Life Saving Club. This structure is so difficult that I want to explain to you. In Japan, there are a lot of beach such as Otake, Kashima, Oarai, Yugawara or so. Each beach has lifesavers. This group by beach is big unit of lifesavers. If a lifesaver is a student of university, they also make groups by university. So, When we enter university and decide to belong lifesaving club of that university, they should also make decision which beach groups to belong. To sum up these, big groups of lifesavers are that by beach.
 Today, I want all of you to know about our Otake. First, I'll show our history. Our club was established in 1993. Following photo is one taken in 1993.

 Otake has three big parts to do lifesaving activity. All member choose one committee.

 First, I will talk about Patrol committee. This committee exists to make lifesaving activity in August be safe, so this committee make a lot of chance to learn about First Aid, CPR and how to sort out problem for club member. In June and July, patrol group's member make situation for summer, and they make us to practice rescue any number of time. It is so hard but we must not give up and compromise!!!

 Second, I will talk about Community committee. This committee's purpose is to spread lifesaving activity and contribute to region. For example, we have a chance to teach junior about lifesaving and AED, and become assistant to make marathon be safe.

 Third, I talk about Sport committee. This committee makes training schedule for summer activity or big game. Until now, I explain lifesaving sports to you. For club's improvement, member of this committee encourages members to tae part in games and practice.
