lifeguarding strategies for a safe group visit

Complete this Red Cross project. We will discuss the answers in class so you can't turn this homework in after we have talked about it and get credit for it.

Scenario 1: You are guarding multiple activities using the pool in addition to an organized group of 30 preschool-aged children with four group leaders. In general, what should you ensure and be aware of while guarding the activity?

(Big hint: the Red Cross lists six responses, you should write out at least four good ones to get credit for this.)

Scenario 2: You are tasked with giving a quick safety orientation to a camp group that will be using the diving boards. Group members took the facility swim test, and all are approved to swim in deep water. List some common rules that you will review for the safe use of the diving boards and briefly describe how you would cover the information.

(Big hint: the Red Cross lists seven responses, you should write out at least four good ones to get credit for this.)

Scenario 3: You will be working a private rental at your facility for families with children of all ages from your local athletic association. You will be doing a safety orientation for the group. Who will you be instructing during the orientation and what items will you be sure to cover?

(Big hint: the Red Cross lists seven items you should be sure to cover, you should list at least four good ones to get credit for this.)
