Lifeguard Commandments
The Ten Commandments of Effective Lifeguarding were developed as an online video series to be used by pool operators to help improve their lifeguarding training efforts. This West Bend Academy course uses the same ten videos and incorporates a 24-question final exam. These videos can be a fantastic in-service training supplement.
