A presentation of the sea rescue company was organized by our Irish friends. Particular emphasis has been placed on the actions to be taken in the event of a fall into the sea, in order to avoid drowning. It was noted that water temperature (9°C that day) as well as wearing clothing should be considered. For example, the students were able to watch a video showing the training of the rescuers at sea and a video showing some of their work. Rescuers also presented the outfit to drive if an accident occurs thatcauses someone to fall into the sea. After explaining the importance of wearing a life jacket, students were given a tour of the facility in the office.

Perform rescues / Treat suspected cases of suspected spinal injury.
Provide First Aid, within the scope of one’s qualifications. / Provide Basic Life Support if necessary.
Provide advanced Life Support if trained to do so e.g. AED, Oxygen etc

The guard explain the Duties of a Beach Lifeguards:
To 
provide supervision of activities at public bathing places in order to prevent drowning accidents.
To 
provide emergency rescue service in the case of accidents.

To 
inspect the patrol area and where possible to remove any dangerous or offensive items. If the lifeguard cannot deal with the matter he should immediately report to his supervisor.
The guide gave the instructions how to record in a 
daily log book:
The 
names and attendance times of all guards on duty / The general weather and tidal conditions.
What flags were flown and when they were changed during the day.
Any information which may assist the Authorities in improving the service.
To 
complete all appropriate rescue and first aid forms.

 

Students were interested about the topic. They never imagined life guards take care of people and boats during all year.
