For Alexandra's suspected spinal injury, the team training as pool lifeguards had to work very carefully together to get her out of the water. Almal, Anthony, Carrie-Ann, Danielle, Jamie and Joe all know that a false move could paralyse her for life.
Fortunately, Alexandra was only involved in roleplay as part of our 12 week intensive RLSS National Pool Lifeguard Award Seventh Edition course.
With instruction in both the classroom and the college swimming pool, the course is preparing us for every eventuality, and we each take it in turns to be the 'victim', trusting the others to 'save' us under the careful eye and instruction of our tutor.
Alexandra says, "This course is fun because we get to do a lot of swimming and learning First Aid isn't as hard as it looks!"
