Life Saving and Water Rescues
b. Swimming Pool
Pool Lifesaving tests a lifesaver's skills in rescue, accident prevention and
emergency care; teaching skills that will save lives and last a lifetime. Pool
Lifesaving builds confidence, teaches teamwork, and is perfect for those
who want to add an extra dimension to their swimming.
Always check your surroundings and enter the water slowly with your feet first.
Check the area each time before you enter the water, as swimming conditions or
surroundings may change. You may not always be able to see underwater
swimmers, toys and other objects that can cause harm. Shallow water,
underwater logs or big rocks can cause serious injury.
Play carefully
Wrestling and tumbling in any water body can be very dangerous. You could hit
your head against pool walls, floors or rocks and become unconscious. If this
happens and you do not get help quickly, you could drown.
