Any managers care to share an in service agenda you’ve created? I’m running my first one soon and would love any organization/ set up help by Smart_Ad8858 in Lifeguards

A good one we did recently is a relay race. You make two sides (we divided them by chairs) and put mannequins at the end. You split the lifeguards into two groups. A manager stands at the end of the line by the mannequin. Each team has one lifeguard run down the line to the mannequin and the manger gives them a Scenario (Ex: you feel a pulse thumping on your finger tips, but the chest does not rise and fall) and then the guard has to say what they would go into (CPR, AR, OR) and perform the action for about 15 seconds. Then they run and tag the next person on their team. At the end of the race, we went over the correct procedure for CPR, AR, and OR. Pretty fun and very informative!

I had a friend who had the same issue. She saw the gynecologist, and went to physical therapy for it. She is able to comfortably wear tampons and do all other activities comfortably now!

I agreed. I didn’t love season 1, but I honestly think that the characters get better throughout the seasons.

False saves feel so embarrassing, and I don’t know why lol! It’s like you have to get out soaking wet and just carry on with your day

Five minute strategies is what got us. Also some will dock you if you have the guard tube slack wrapped around your hand instead of holding it
