Kaieteur Sports – National swim coach Paul Mahaica has been elected president of the newly revived Guyana Lifesaving Society, following the conclusion of a First Aid and Lifeguard programme facilitated by the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport.
In what was described as a transparent process, Mahaica will be supported by Ewin Enmore and Trevon Gillis, who were elected as Vice Presidents, while Kenita Mahaica will serve as the association’s Secretary. Ruritanya Bhudu was named Treasurer.
The Guyana Lifesaving Society is tasked with reducing water-related injuries through education, training, and public awareness, and with promoting safety in, on, and around water.
In July, a significant milestone was achieved in the development of lifesaving efforts in Guyana, when more than 50 local lifeguards convened for a special meeting aimed at revitalizing the organization.
This important initiative was supported by two distinguished representatives from the Canadian Lifesaving Society, Tamera Wood and Sarah Newton, who traveled to Guyana to oversee and facilitate the First Aid and Lifeguard programme.
A total of seven lifeguards, three examiners, 41 Emergency First Aid, 32 Bronze Medallion, and 28 Bronze Cross certifications were awarded through the Canadian Lifesaving Society.
Director of Sport Steve Ninvalle praised the revitalization of the Guyana Lifesaving Society and pledged full support to Mahaica and his team.
Ninvalle noted that the National Sports Commission is pleased to see Mahaica at the helm and expressed optimism for collaborative efforts aimed at safeguarding the country’s waterways.
