Lifeguarding Drill: Rescue Passive Victim, Shallow, Face-Down, Facing the Rescuer, 1 Rescuer

Lifeguarding Drill: Rescue Passive Victim, Shallow, Face-Down, Facing the Rescuer, 1 Rescuer

This is the third in the passive victim rescue drills.

Guidelines:

Victims are at least 10 feet from the pool edge, face down on the surface and facing the rescuer. Depth of the water is between 3 1/2 feet to 4 1/2 feet deep.

Rescuers will have at least one hand on the wall with the rescue tube strap on.

Rescuers need to make contact with the victim and have them placed on the rescue tube. Utilize rolling the victim to avoid the rescuer or victim from being injured. Once the victim is secured on the tube, rescuers need to raise their hands into the air. This is to show that the victim is stable on the rescue tube.

All rescuers hands in the air when finished with victims stable, secure on their rescue tubes. You'll have 7 seconds to do this. Once your lifeguard team becomes proficient, have them complete the drill in 5 seconds.

This is an all pass drill, meaning all rescuers must complete the drill for the lifeguard team to receive a pass.

A 6-12 lifeguard team is preferred. Depending on size of staff, modify to accomodate needs.
