Lifeguarding: Day 2

Today was a big pool day for the group. We learned both rear and front passive rescues, submerged victim rescues, two person removals with backboards, and spinal injury rescues. Teams worked to practice the timed skills we will be assessed on later in the week. The class also covered water front skills using rescue boards and water sweeps. It was a long day but we all learned a lot of techniques to respond to a variety of situations!!
