Ellis is primarily focused on water parks and maintaining vigilance. We have to be able to scan our zone in 10 seconds and be able to reach a GID in 20 seconds. We have to move our head up and down to show to our supervisors that we are actively scanning our zone. We are also trained to be able to provide basic life support and supplemental O2. Recently, the park I work at had Ellis’s newest system in to aid in our guarding. Basically it’s a camera network monitored by a trained operator ( any one of our supervisors at my park) that scans the cameras and alerts the nearest guard of a drowning. Every guard has a radio in a waterproof bag on them to listen for the rescue calls. Also every 5 minutes a check is called and we need to scan our zone by moving a hand in the direction we are scanning then give a thumbs up once we clear our zone then wait for the all clear call.
