QUOTE ‘A leader is not a person with a lot of followers, but a person who leaves footprin ts behind.’

The story Scott Hunthausen, a lifeguar d instructor from California, travelled to Nicaragua in 2008 to study for a semester.

He was there when 70 people died from drowning in 4 days during the Easter holiday.

Back in California, he decided to take action to prevent so many deaths from drowning, so he started ISLA with 3 other instructors that same year.

ISLA today Today, ISLA is a team of volunteer lifeguards, doctors , nurses, firefighters, police officers, paramedics and military personnel from differen t countries. They go on mission s around the world to train lifeguards and provide help.
