These are available at both the large and small Brombachsee.
Dedicated helpers for safety
The DLRG security team consists of a security guard and experienced security guards who have various qualifications, for example as a boat captain or paramedic. Prospective security guards from the youth operations team support the team during their training period. This professional structure helps ensure that the DLRG's main task of ensuring safety in and around the water can be fulfilled at all times.

Thanks to the new boat, operations on and around Lake Brombachsee are already being made more effective, which not only benefits the helpers, but above all the people who find themselves in emergency situations.
