Great reference for beginning lifeguards and anyone interested in lifeguarding. I bought it as a reference book since it was pretty inexpensive on Amazon.

In addition to covering the lifeguard, their characteristics, and responsibilities, the book also covers:

** Injury Prevention and Facility Safety
** Patron Surveillance
** Emergency Preparation
** Rescue Skills
** Providing Care and Victim Assessment
** Breathing and Cardiac Emergencies
** First Aid
** Head, Neck, and Back Emergencies

It is a short read, around 200 pages. Definitely a valuable resource even for those who want to read up on water safety skills.… (altro)
