OPERATIONS

These lifeguards are getting ready to do
exertion drills.

Incorporating stress
training into an aquatic
program will give lifeguards
the tools they need to
perform their skills in an

as keeping the victim's airway
above the water. The speed drill will
allow the lifeguards to build muscle memory so that as their heart
rate increases, and they become
more reliant on automatic processing, they are still able to meet
the objectives of their emergency
procedures. Through speed and

repetition, the rescue skill becomes
so ingrained in the lifeguards that
they can perform successful rescues despite the decreased capacity
for complexed thinking that often
accompanies stressful situations.
Exertion Drills - Similarly, exertion drills require lifeguards to perform skills with an elevated heart
rate, but the drills focus on building
endurance and/or dexterity. During
exertion drills, lifeguards must first
exert themselves to raise their heart
rate to a minimum of 145 beats per
minute (bpm) and then perform a
rescue or first-aid skill.
If the drill performed involves gross
motor skills, the lifeguards are building their endurance. For example, a
lifeguard can tread water, holding a
brick for 2 minutes to elevate his/
her heart rate, and then perform a
submerged victim rescue to improve
leg power and endurance. If the
drill involves complex motor skills,
it will build focus and dexterity. For
example, lifeguards can sprint for 50
yards across the pool and then work
together to perform a back-boarding
exercise to practice the complex skill
of in-line stabilization and the finemotor skills of buckling straps. Here
is an example of one of my favorite
exertion drills:
1. Two lifeguards race across the
pool.
2. The winner floats on his/her
back, and the loser then tows the
winner back across the pool.
3. The pair gets out of the pool and
performs CPR on a manikin.
4. Another pair of lifeguards does
the same race and tow across the
pool.
