How we train to save lives: Scenarios

"Tell me and I will forget. Show me I might remember. Involve me and I will understand."

Sea Bright's Lifeguard Instructors:

All lifeguard instructors (FTO's) have at least 1000 hours experience as an ocean lifeguard and all Lead Instructors/Course Coordinators have at least 2,000 hours of ocean rescue experience.

Scenario Based Training:

Sea Bright Lifeguards are trained using a formal organized curriculum following the USLA's Required Course Curriculum. We integrate scenario training throughout Rookie School. The goals of our "Teaching Scenarios" include making each situation as real as possible which allows the instructors to put both physical demands and psychological pressures on the students simulating the normal stresses that occur during an actual emergency call.

Blitz Scenarios:

Blitz Scenarios occur at any time during normal operations. These scenarios are unannounced as the goal is to test the lifeguard staff's performance while still protecting the beach. Lifeguard supervisors are expected to coordinate both response to the scenario as well as providing uninterrupted protection of the beach and water. Muti-tasking is a skill that all lifeguard supers must employ.
