  • Basic Water Rescue Guide
    CHAPTER 3 Recognizing and Responding to Aquatic Emergencies Many Americans live, work and play in or near water. In fact, nearly 40 percent of our nation’s population lives in counties directly on a shoreline, and this number is getting bigger each year. That’s not even counting our access to lakes, rivers, pools and other aquatic environments. Now, more than ever, knowing how to recognize and respond to an aquatic emergency is as important as knowing how to prevent one. 48 | | Swimming and Water Safety Recognizing an Emergency An emergency can happen to anyone in or around the water, regardless of swimming ability. For example, a strong swimmer can get into trouble in the water because of sudden illness or injury. Or, a nonswimmer playing in shallow water can be knocked down by a wave or pulled into deeper water by a rip current. The key to recognizing an emergency is staying alert and being able to recognize when a person is having trouble in the water. Staying Alert Staying alert means using all your senses when observing others in and around the water. For example, you may see a swimmer acting oddly. Or, you may hear a scream or sudden splash. Keep in mind that the signals of an emergency might be what you do not see or hear. For instance, it may surprise you to learn that most people who are in trouble in the water cannot or do not call for help. They spend their energy just trying to keep their heads above water to get a breath.

    American Red Cross Scientific Advisory Council Scientific Review WATER RESCUE EQUIPMENT FOR THE LAY RESPONDER Questions to be addressed: Assisting a drowning victim: Evaluation of effective water rescue equipment for a lay- responder What is the most effective piece of rescue equipment for a lay-responder/bystander to throw a person in trouble in water? What are the most accurate and buoyant types of rescue devices for a lay- person/bystander to use for aiding a drowning person? What is the best type of rescue device for a drowning person to hold on to that a lay- person/bystander could use to help a person in trouble in water? What is the best type of rescue equipment for a lay person/bystander to use to help rescue a person in water quickly and at a great distance (i.e. accuracy, buoyancy, distance, ability for someone to grab hold)? Introduction/Overview: The World Heath Organization (2014) reported that in 2011, an estimated 359, 000 people died from drowning, making it a major public health problem worldwide. Globally the issue of drowning is one that affects all economies and regions. In the United States, the Centers for Disease Control (2012) reported that from 2005-2009, there was an average of 3,533 fatal unintentional drowning (non-boating related) annually in the United States, about ten deaths per day. Although the death rate from unintentional drowning for persons aged 0-19 years of age has decreased, drowning still remains the leading cause of death from unintentional injuries among children aged 1-4, with most cases occurring in swimming pools.

The Trainability portion of the State Park Peace Officer Cadet (Lifeguard) examination is designed to assess your ability to read and comprehend written materials, and to apply the information at a later time. All of the questions on the examination are derived directly from this study guide. The examination itself is “closed book”, meaning that the study guide will not be available during the examination.
