  • Lps 07 Fitness Testing for Lifeguards
    World Water Safety INTERNATIONAL LIFE SAVING FEDERATION Gemeenteplein 26 – 3010 Leuven – Belgium Tel: (32.16) 89.60.60 – E-mail: [email protected] - Web: www.ilsf.org LIFESAVING POSITION STATEMENT - LPS 07 FITNESS TESTING FOR LIFEGUARDS NOTE: This statement is intended for those lifeguards, acting in a professional or volunteer capacity, who are trained in the techniques of water rescue and resuscitation and who assume a duty to safeguard members of the public at aquatic sites. They may be called lifeguards, lifesavers or both. This statement is not directed at members of the public trained in water safety and rescue techniques, but without a duty to respond, who may also be known, in some areas of the world, as lifesavers. The standards outlined in this position statement are the minimum that ILS recommends. ILS encourages organisations to exceed these recommended minimum standards where local conditions and/or expectations of lifeguards are warranted. BACKGROUND Experts in the field of lifeguard training and rescue believe that lifeguards need to be able to demonstrate a reasonable level of fitness. It is presumed that lifeguards would have sound swimming and water rescue skills. The ability for lifeguards to swim a specified distance within a defined amount of time has been shown to correlate. The available English language studies in the aquatic setting were reviewed. The data is cohort studies of lifeguard pre-employment assessment outcomes. Level of evidence from the research is low and not directly related to the question addressed in this review. There are no direct outcome data for lifeguards responding to victims.

    Lifesaving Society Canada Suite 001 – 1145 Hunt Club Road, Ottawa, Ontario K1V 0Y3 Telephone: 613-746-5694 E-mail: [email protected] Web: www.lifesaving.ca Safety Standards for Canadian Swimming Pools and Waterfronts Waterfront Standard Supervised Waterfront Operations Equipment Standard Standard Owners and Operators of supervised waterfronts should ensure that appropriate equipment is available at all times for use by lifeguards on duty. Definitions Last seen marker: A small buoy with a line and anchor that is used to mark the location where a person was last seen in the water. Lifeguard: A person with a current National Lifeguard certification appointed by the owner or operator to supervise bather safety and maintain surveillance over bathers while they are on the deck or in the pool. Owner: The person or corporation who is the owner of an aquatic facility. Operator: The trained individual designated by the owner to be responsible for the day-to-day operation of an aquatic facility. Supervised Waterfront: A waterfront is an outdoor, artificial or natural shoreline alongside a body of water, that may include docks or piers, that may be used for aquatic activities such as swimming, wading, diving, or aquatic sports. A supervised waterfront is a waterfront that provides lifeguards/beach patrol as part of its operation. Rationale Lifeguards who supervise waterfront areas should have equipment that allows them to effectively supervise the designated area and respond appropriately in emergency situations. Implementation The following equipment should be available and present at all times, in good working order, checked daily for breakdowns or faults, and easily accessible in case of an emergency: Lifeguard uniforms readily identified as such.

  • Explore the New Bronze Med Al a W Ards
    What’s new for Affiliates? The Lifesaving Society has updated its Bronze medal awards: • To reflect the Society’s current research into drowning in Canada including the incidence and consequences of non-fatal drowning. • To focus on the core areas of competency in water rescue: skills, knowledge, fitness and judgment. • To improve skill progressions for a logical and seamless flow into National Lifeguard. • To set candidates up for success as they move through the Society’s lifesaving, assistant lifeguard, and lifeguard continuum. Key changes • Bronze Star content focuses on swimming proficiency, lifesaving skill and personal fitness. • Bronze Medallion includes swimming strokes in the curriculum. • Bronze Cross contains fundamental lifeguarding skills and concepts needed by those responsible for safety supervision. • First aid items are restricted to content that relates directly to water rescue. Drowning resuscitation remains the central focus throughout the Bronze medal awards. • Standardization of Bronze Medallion and Bronze Cross recertification exams. Strokes are back – by popular demand: We heard loud and clear from parents, instructors, and affiliates that young swimmers need opportunities to continue to develop their swim strokes in lifesaving classes. In the new Bronze Star and Bronze Medallion, participants will hone front and back crawl, breaststroke and lifesaving kicks. Bronze Cross is assistant lifeguard training: Now more than ever, the new Bronze Cross prepares candidates for responsibilities as assistant lifeguards. Bronze Cross features more lifeguarding content with an emphasis on the principles and techniques of active surveillance (including scanning) in aquatic facilities. Candidate assessment includes Assistant Lifeguard Situations. First aid focused on water rescue: The Bronze medal awards emphasize aquatic-related first aid and resuscitation skills.
