Lifeguards use all kinds of skills and techniques to save victims from drowning, potential injuries of the neck and spinal areas and more! In this quiz, we've compiled a list of 35 questions that will test your knowledge on lifeguard-related topics like jumps, types of rescues and medical devices.
Let's take a look at some jumps. There are four types of jumps, or entries, that are used by lifeguards. Depending on the situation, a compact jump, stride jump, run-and-swim entry or a slide-in entry may be used. A compact jump is used to jump from high places, like a lifeguard chair, where a lifeguard loosely "tucks in" their knees to their rescue tube. A stride jump is typically used near the edge of the pool, where a lifeguard extends one leg into the water. For potential spinal injuries, a slide-in entry is used for both deep water and shallow water areas. This is so that the water remains undisturbed around the person being rescued. And finally, a run-and-swim entry is used for waters that have little to no depth, where a lifeguard literally runs in the water to save a victim.
You'll be quizzed on whistle blasts, CPR techniques and first aid treatment in this quiz as well. Let's see how well you do; try and score at least a 75% now!
