The ALMOST Definative Ligfeguard Training Text

As an American Red Cross Lifeguard Training Instructor I have had the opertunity to teach many classes using the above text. Very detailed descriptions and photographs of skills. My only complaint about this text is that you still need a seperate book for the CPR portion of the course. The r2001 release of te program has the CPR in the same book. Even while teaching to the new program, Lifeguarding Today remains one of my most used books for information and examples.

A well written, complete lifeguarding training book.

"Lifeguarding Today" is very complete, organized and well written. A good choice for any lifeguard-in-training!

A must in Water Safety

This book does a good job of explaining lifeguarding and the skills needed. It has a lot of great information. There is information in this book that other lifeguard courses don't focus on and I feel as an aquatics director is needed. I would have liked to see CPR skills included, some of the old Red Cross skills, and skills tought in other lifeguard courses. However everything this book is worth reading. I liked it so much that I now teach the course. This is a good buy.
