The aim of this study was to determine the effects of an introductory workshop about the sport of lifesaving and lifeguarding on people with intellectual disabilities (ID). Seventeen people with moderate ID received three practical classes and two theorical on the lifesaving and lifeguarding test "50 meters manikin dragging". The methodology was qualitative, and the research techniques used were group interview, survey and participant observation. Twelve study participants responded that they would like to participate in an inclusive lifesaving and lifeguarding competition, while five participants were reluctant to do so. The emotions perceived by the participants during the sessions were positive. Most of them were able to correctly perform the course and the different phases of the "50-meter manikin drag" test, but only three of the participants were able to perform the test with the manikin full of water and without adaptations. It is concluded that the teaching of a workshop on the sport of lifesaving and lifeguarding has had positive effects on the participants of the study. The participants affirm that lifesaving is a new, motivating and demanding sport in which they can make new friends. They feel that they have enjoyed and learned in the workshop sessions because they have worked with their classmates and because they have acquired useful skills to prevent drowning.
