12 Pool Lifeguard Training Topics for a Successful Summer<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ready for a great summer? Start by planning the pool lifeguard North Carolina training\u2019s that your team needs to perform their best all season long. Here are 12 in-service topics to help you organize your weekly meetings and ensure your teams success.<\/p>\n

Scanning<\/strong> \u2013 Start the summer off with a refresher on one of the most important lifeguarding skills. Guards with good scanning skills stop small problems from becoming big problems.<\/p>\n

Emergency Action Plan<\/strong> \u2013 You\u2019ve got an EAP your entire team can follow, now train to it. Going through the motions repeatedly increases success during real life emergencies.<\/p>\n

CPR Refresh<\/strong> \u2013 Your lifeguard team likely recertifies in CPR every other year, if not more. Bottom line \u2013 that\u2019s not enough practice for this essential skill. Add it to your early season training\u2019s.<\/p>\n

AED Usage <\/strong>\u2013 See CPR above, same idea. Make sure your staff know the ins and outs of your AED. Using an AED trainer (a mock AED that works just like yours, but is only used for training purposes) and going through several scenarios is key.<\/p>\n

Chemical Safety<\/strong> \u2013 Does everyone on your lifeguarding crew know what happens when you combine chlorine and acid? They should. Your chemicals are dangerous. Teach your team to use them safety, or not at all.<\/p>\n

Advanced Rescues<\/strong> \u2013 Now that you\u2019ve covered the basics, it\u2019s time to loop back around to key points from lifeguard training courses that are the most challenging to succeed at. Make sure deep water rescues and spinal injuries are on the list.<\/p>\n

Chemical Checks<\/strong> \u2013 If your guard crew is checking the chemicals, you\u2019re relying on them for essential information. Proper chem checks are the basis for an efficient, clean and safe pool. Make sure everyone\u2019s on the same page.<\/p>\n

First Aid<\/strong> \u2013 Basic first aid doesn\u2019t seem so basic when you\u2019ve got a crowd around, a screaming child and blood on the pool deck. Like everything else, the more you practice, the better you perform in a real emergency.
\n
\nCross Training<\/strong> \u2013 Want a great in-service? Set up a cross training with your local first responders. Your team will get to watch the pros in action and when you do have an emergency, your fire department or local ambulance will be familiar with your facility, personnel and protocols.<\/p>\n

Weather<\/strong> \u2013 This varies in severity and type depending on location, but it\u2019s something we all need to consider. How will your crew handle the worst storm of the summer?<\/p>\n

Rule Enforcement<\/strong> \u2013 Your pool, your rules. Make them as strict as you want and then make sure your staff feels comfortable enforcing your rules consistently and fairly.
\n
\nCustomer Service<\/strong> \u2013 It\u2019s not our prime directive, but customer service keeps people coming back, and more swimmers is great for our aquatic community.<\/p>\n
