Summary/Abstract: Water rescue in Poland is one of our country’s obligations without a clear financing scheme. The organization and financing of rescue operations have been assigned to managers and entities authorized to perform rescue operations. However the range of tasks combined with the cost associated with these tasks result in a situation in which each party plays its own show –- the illusorily fulfillment of roles. The state imitates providing security to citizens, the authorized entities and managers simulate that they fulfill all obligations, and the rescuers pretend to act. This is because the current regulations are far from perfect and the lack of comprehensive supervision over this area of life as well as due funding (adequate to the imposed tasks) deepens the inefficiency of the entire system every day.
