Lifeguard and Victim

These consist of bomb alerts, fire evacuation and first aid. These procedures are produced to give help to everyone at the place of the emergency. Everyone, especially adults must be aware of what to follow during an emergency to ensure everyone stays safe.

Our “man in the water”, put his life at stake. Every time the rescue team lowered a lifeline and floatation ring to the man, he gave it to the other strangers. “ For at some moment in the water he must have realized that he would not live if he continued to hand over the rope and the ring to others.” When our “man in the water” realized that he had to choose between life and helping the strangers, he picked the more honorable decision, thus responsible for helping save four lives for the price of his own.

Remaining calm, ensuring safety of all involved, assessing situation, providing assistance/ administering first aid as required and within limits of training, requesting professional support as required and informing them of situation,

thought I knew everything about being a Lifeguard. Working at the Melnea A Cass Pool gave me the opportunity to actually save someone's life, and work on myself. Saving someone's life as a lifeguard was almost anticlimactic, it started with a typical busy day at work, having roughly 200 people at the pool which meant all eyes on deck and I couldn’t even count the amount of times I would have to say things like, “Don’t run” or “You can’t eat on the pool deck.” Having my fellow guards behind my back during a busy day like this was reassuring, but that reassurance didn’t mean I could slack off. During the middle of the day A young girl whose name I never had the chance of getting to know was struggling to keep afloat in the deeper part of the pool. As a lifeguard I am trained to know what is actually drowning and what playing around looks like and with that, moments later I actually realized that she was drowning in the 6 foot part of the pool. Never really having to save someone before, I hesitated to act at first but remembering everything I experienced that alone drove me to jump into the pool after her across the pool and bring her to safety at the edge of the water. I remember her crying and running away from me to her family, even when I needed her name for the documentation. My manager Amarri came and let me know I did a good job and he told me I needed to go back to watching the water, and like that I

Markus Thalmann, the cardiac surgeon who saved the little girl from death by drowning in icy water, said that she was not the first hypothermia and suffocation case. However, she was the first one to survive. In her complicated rescue they tried to follow a checklist that stats that in such a case, a rescue team was required to tell the hospital to prepare for possible cardiac bypass and rewarming. So, what was so effective about this approach is that by the time the patient gets to the hospital, everything is ready and standing by. These kinds of cases are time sensitive. In such complicated cases, success requires having a huge number of equipment and people at the ready. So, even small simple checklist could help in complicated rescues and even bring people to life

The primary goal of this group is to prevent, protect and inform other of drownings. The YMCA-YWCA also works towards helping teach others to swim to allow people it safely enjoy the benefits of swimming. In order to reach these goal the guards go through extensive training. There are three main steps to this process. The first is course training; they must participate and complete ten courses. These range from 30 hours all the way to two weeks long. That is where they get the knowledge involved in this lifesaving practice. Secondly they go through simulation and physical standard testing’s. The simulation the YMCA-YWCA workers go through help them practice their skills under the major pressure of time. Physical standards test cardio, lifting capacity, speed and more. If any of these step are failed of missing the person is UN

This year is the first year at the Nile swim club in which I am the head lifeguard. Being the head lifeguard comes with a lot of responsibility. At the Nile Swim Club Mrs. Gwendolyn Brown is an excellent leader that everyone should look up to. The Nile swim club is the first black owned pool in America and she has a lot of pride to keep it that way. A lot of the members and board members have other jobs and which the Nile takes the back seat but to Mrs. Gwen the Nile is her main priority even though she has another job as a day care inspector as soon as she leaves her job she comes straight to the Nile to handle business and to make sure that everything is the way it should be. Mrs. Gwen has the respect of every member and employee, and she

Red Cross has prepared people to save lives through health and safety education training for almost fifty years. Red Cross provides classes and guidelines for lifeguarding. Not only does lifeguarding save lives but it also helps financially by providing jobs for thousands around the country. Thanks to Red Cross, paramedics across the country are saving lives and also making a living. All of these paramedics and lifeguards with kids wouldn’t be able to go to work if it weren’t for the Red Cross’s babysitters training. The training prepares people to lead a safer and healthier life for young ones. Nearly 11 million people enrolled in American Red Cross health and safety courses last year.

The incident commander for this emergency will be a U.S. Coast Guard On-Scene-Coordinator (OSC), which the USCG designated to be the head of the emergency. The OSC will evaluate the situation and determine what types of resources are needed and how much federal aid, will be required. Also he will make sure the area is clean and safe as well as determine if any outside

In order to properly assist a victim in their path through the Criminal Justice System you will first need to get her emergency medical treatment. Especially when dealing with a victim who has suffered severe bodily harm. The victim will need to spend some time in a medical facility in order to recover. While being treated the victim will also need to be seen by a sexual assault nurse examiner if she was the victim of rape.

I currently volunteer at the McMaster blood clinic and I once encountered a situation where I had to think on my feet. It was my first day and my supervisor was showing me around the clinic. After a while, he left to hand out brochures to promote the clinic and left me in charge. We ask donors to wait for 10-15 min after donating blood so they can grabs snacks and drinks before they leave. As one of the donors was walking towards the waiting area, he suddenly collapsed and went unconscious. I tried to prevent the fall by grabbing his arm. This situation required me to recall emergency protocols and immediately apply them to ensure safety of the donor. My first approach was to yell 'ICE' in order to alert the nurses about the collapsed donor.

Provide appropriate emergency assistance: Emergency assistance should be appropriate and available immediately. Having first aid and CPR training is important. In addition, have the proper consents completed and available.

It is a hot day to be on the dock. Kids are everywhere enjoying the cool water. I watch the beginner’s area and see parents and kids throwing around a football. I look in the learner’s area as the kids are gathering rocks and shells. Parents with reach poles all around the dock help assist in watching the children. Everything is calm. Several people think that lifeguarding is just sitting in a tower and saving kids from drowning, but lifeguarding has more to it. At Camp Wilderness lifeguarding is about the connection with the kids, saving lives, and teaching them how to improve on their swimming.

There are many reasons why we help people in emergency situations and these reasons include evolution, modelling and social norms. We also consider the rewards and exchange.
