Importance of Ongoing Lifeguard Training

As we head into the busier season, I want to emphasize the need for regular lifeguard training sessions. It’s essential not just for compliance but for ensuring our team feels confident and prepared. We’re adding a refresher course next month; I encourage everyone to participate so we can maintain our high safety standards in the water.

Regular training has made such a difference for me; last summer, we had a situation where quick reflexes saved the day; a refresher is like keeping your lifeguard instincts sharp — just like keeping your first aid kit stocked! @Bob, remember that rescue sequence? Coming back to it really helps.
