Engaging text provides the history of these colorful and fanciful lifeguard stands, and designed in 1992 after Hurricane Andrew, and again after the storms of 2005.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This New American Red Cros CPR/AED for the Professional Rescuer Participant's Manual and course reflect changes based on the 2005 Consensus on Science for CPR and Emergency Cardiovascular Care (ECC) and the Guidelines 2005 for First Aid. Changes to this program and manual include simplifications to many of the CPR skill sequences, which helps improve retention. There have also been changes to help improve the quality of CPR. The integration of CPR skills into the operation of AEDs had changed to help improve survival from sudden cardiac arrest. Professional rescuers are now trained to use AEDs on adults and children. Information has been updated and added to this program to help professional rescuers administer epinephrine, aspirin and fixed-flow-rate oxygen. The skills learned in this course include adult, child and infant rescue breathing, conscious and unconscious choking, CPR, two-rescuer CPR and adult and child AED. Additional training can be added to this course including bloodborne pathogens training and emergency oxygen administration. While the skills and knowledge that professional rescuers use are increasing, this training will help you meet your most important responsibility as a professional rescuer- the responsibility to save lives.

Download or read book Advanced Lifeguarding Considerations written by George Roland Wills and published by . This book was released on 2019-12-08 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is NOT a Red Cross lifesaving manual. It is NOT designed to teach beginning lifeguards the rescue techniques for distressed swimmers, active drowning victims, nor passive drowning victims. It is not designed to teach you 'thirty adult compressions and two breaths for an adult' during CPR. Those books are put out by the American Red Cross, and are two separate courses; Basic Lifesaving (or a manual called LIFEGUARDING TODAY) and CPR. You get two separate certificates when you pass those courses. The BL is good for three years, and CPR is annual. This book is for those who have already taken the courses, successfully passed them, and then wonder why their own employing aquatics facility just tells them to take the lifeguard stand, and then figure out what to do the best way that they can... This book is THAT information; how to take it from there. This book is the third course; the one they never give. This book is divided into two parts. Part one is the actual required-attendance inservice lectures for professional lifeguards from an actual pool at a YMCA, written by the author. Part two is the never-before-seen nor described inside look at a seasoned lifeguard's viewpoint; what is necessary to save lives in the most convenient way possible. How a veteran guard with over 10 years experience and over 100 saves sees the water, and the people in it. The author is experienced at both indoor and outdoor pools, working either alone, or in a phalanx of four to eight guards at a time, on a massive municipal Olympic-size pool deck, with a 12 foot diving well (pictured on the book cover).Lifeguarding is part lifesaving, and part water security (crowd control). You will learn how to avoid the responsibilities of being a 'babysitter', something no guard has time to do... In this book you will learn how to take effective control of your zone, how to handle trouble-makers, effectively break up fights, police your deck and your water, and gain a respect from your patrons that will assist you immeasurably in the performance of your duties. You will learn how to effectively project the Old school Image of a lifeguard, to good effect. (Once you have the parents and the adults on your side, that's half the security end of your job, right there!). You will learn the secret life of lifeguards, the way they learn to communicate with each other in an almost telepathic way, through their eyes, and slight, almost imperceptible gestures and the way they seem to psychically be aware of things going to occur, before they happen. You will learn the psychology of a troublemaker, and the way to best handle a seasoned troublemaker, and convince him that he is tangling with the wrong guard by simple, slight observations you will make that will show him how you control the pool, and not him. We will discuss the physical defense of a lifeguard who is attacked, and what strategies can very effectively and very passively end the assault without further incident. This book will answer a number of questions that the dry and spartan lifeguarding manuals do not even venture to attempt to explain. This is from a real perspective, and an actual career in the field, from the actual stand of a professional career lifeguard.

Now, a year later, her worst fears have happened: Her father has disappeared—into what the WITSEC agency calls "the blue zone"—and someone close to him is found brutally murdered. With her family under surveillance, the FBI untrustworthy, and her father's menacing "friends" circling with increasing intensity, Kate sets off to find her father—and uncover the secrets someone will kill to keep buried.

Download or read book Stories from Sea Level written by Ed Vodrazka and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2021-03-19 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stories from Sea Level is a hand-picked assemblage of truly exceptional ocean-related events which occurred within the 50-year span between 1969 and 2019. The lifeguards featured in these stories work for various agencies between San Diego and the Sonoma Coast. Of note, the lifeguards themselves provided the author with the details and specifics necessary to accurately immortalize their remarkable and dramatic events. This collection of their accounts are offered by the author as a sincere homage to all lifeguards (past, present, and future) who diligently patrol the California coastline ensuring the safety of the general public. Ten of these stories capture the details of daring rescues in which the lifeguards' performances were so exceptional that they personified the essence of valor. All ten of these events (as indicated in their accounts) earned the lifeguards prestigious Medal of Valor honors from the United States Lifeguard Association and/or the Governor of California. This award serves as formal recognition and acknowledgement of the highest level of courage and bravery in our profession. Balancing the gallantry and heroics, other stories serve to illuminate the whimsical nature of our profession and the comical shenanigans involved in our interactions with the public. They seem to exemplify the adage that "truth is stranger than fiction." Collectively, these accounts provide the reader with insight and appreciation for the diverse range of duties, responsibilities and joys that lifeguards encounter in the course of performing their duties on the iconic beaches of California. They expose the common bonds that lifeguards from all agencies share and hopefully provide the lay public with an appreciation for the unique skills and incomparable worth of our ocean warriors. Praise for Stories from Sea Level The tales in Ed Vodrazka's riveting book Stories from Sea Level chronicle the entire range of experiences confronted in the course of working as an Ocean Lifeguard-the tragedies will bring tears to your eyes, the rescues will have you on the edge of your seat, the lighthearted stories will capture your heart and make you laugh. This amazing book recounts Medal of Valor rescues, unleashes some of lifeguarding's most unique and compelling characters, documents the heartbreaking fatalities, the friendships and the ironies, the twists of fate and the remarkable resolve of men and women performing extraordinary rescues in a perilous sea. Only Ed Vodrazka could have written this book, for the simple reason he is one of the best-known practitioners of the lifesaving discipline in California. He is one of the most affable, curious and artfully compelling people you'll ever meet. Anyone who has been a lifeguard in Southern California for the last 20 years either knows him or has heard of him. He worked for seven years on the notoriously dangerous North Coast of Sonoma County. His service on the beaches of California spans six decades. He has worked as a field lifesaver and a Lifeguard Training Instructor for California State Parks and Los Angeles County, and has taught EMT and First Responder courses for the City of San Diego Lifeguards. He is a highly coveted public speaker and EMT Instructor. There is no document that represents the full spectrum of the camaraderie, emotion and challenges confronted every day by Ocean Lifeguards more effectively than Stories from Sea Level. This book is mandatory reading for anyone who has an interest in the ocean and the people who make their living at its doorstep. Stories from Sea Level is a book worthy of spending time with.
