Country pool managers all set for summer

As the peak summer season approaches 25 Pool Managers from across the Wheatbelt recently attended a one day requalification session at Bruce Rock.

With the aquatic centres across the region now open for summer, the managers updated their pool lifeguard qualifications, ensuring they’re up to speed with the latest techniques and practises to be ready to respond to any potential emergencies throughout the coming season.

Royal Life Saving Society WA Trainer Eleanor Lee led the sessions and says “All the managers readily embraced the new changes, especially the updated technique for spinal board retraction of a patient from the water.”

Royal Life Saving Society WA is proud to be able to assist in ensuring all aquatic centres across Western Australia have well trained and qualified staff available, to create a safe environment for patrons to enjoy aquatic activity, and cool off - especially across the hot, dry Wheatbelt region - over the summer months.
