Thuringian judges show commitment at the SpeedLifeSaving Cup!
On November 2nd, 2025, the coveted SpeedLifeSaving Cup took place in Berlin, organized by the district youth of the German Life Saving Society (DLRG) Berlin Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf. This event was aimed at young lifeguards up to a maximum of 12 years old. The aim of the competition was to promote speed, skill and fun in rescue sports and offered the young athletes the opportunity to show their skills in age-appropriate individual disciplines.
The most important tasks of the judges, who ensured the fair implementation of the rules in rescue sports, also included Thuringian judges, including Charlotte Lenk and Kerstin Becker from Eisenach and Annett Groppel from Weimar. The latter is also the state representative for refereeing in the DLRG Thuringia state association. Kerstin Becker emphasized the importance of competitions for obtaining referee licenses and pointed out the need for correct execution of the competition disciplines.
Importance of competition
The SpeedLifeSaving Cup is an important step for many young lifeguards to test their skills in an emergency. Rescue sports not only help ensure swimming skills, but also promote team spirit and a sense of responsibility among the participants. Annett Groppel strongly warned that correct execution is crucial to ensure the safety and fairness of the competition.
Participation in such a competition is of great importance for the judges, not only to obtain their licenses, but also to gain experience and pass on their knowledge. The next assignment for the Thuringian judges will take place at the 9th DLRG Mini Cup in Sömmerda, which is already scheduled for the near future.
Rescue sports in focus
