Even the smallest seaside beaches, with a length of up to 200 m., will have to have a medical station, or a mobile resuscitation team, according to a draft water rescue regulation. Transport will have to be provided for the mobile medical teams, which besides doctors and nurses, can also include paramedics and trained midwives.

Another amendment to the regulation proposed envisages that lifeguards can be provided training by the Bulgarian Red Cross, but also by other organizations with water rescue specialists and anesthesiologists or emergency doctors. If the draft regulation is approved, there will also be a change in the times in which lifeguard services will be provided at public seaside beaches and swimming pools – from 9 AM until 6.30 PM.
