Did you know that for any Aqua class / activity at BTSS, there is always an Aqua professional on staff for our Members who is certified in shallow water safety?
Here, Fitness Lead, Amanda Dupree and Ernie Thomas show instructors Jannan and Eva a practice technique in shallow water safety. This particular lifeguard training focuses on stabilizing and managing head, neck, and spinal injuries in pools up to 5 feet deep. Rescuers learn specialized in-water stabilization, gentle rotation, and backboard extraction techniques to protect the spine without causing further harm.
NOTE: For demonstration purposes only. All participants are instructors.
