These checklists are a valuable resource for trainers to enable on-going lifeguard training to be recorded accurately and compactly within Approved Training Centres. Pool lifeguard checklists will be added in 2005.
The Life Support and Extended Life Support checklists provide a comprehensive step-by-step guide to each treatment which is also useful to lifeguards as a revision aid.
Please note: these checklists are not intended as examination checklists.
