Unfortunately, many Australians drown in pools every year, including children. In such emergencies, would you know what to do to save a life? Many people freeze, unsure how to react. But with the right training, you can be the hero of the day. Here at Accredited Training Company on the Gold Coast, we offer the popular Perform Water Rescue (SISCAQUA020) course, specifically designed to equip you with the skills and confidence to act decisively in a poolside crisis. This course is geared towards real-life emergencies and empowers you to transform from a bystander into a lifesaver.

So, What Will You Learn in The Perform Water Rescue Course?

  • Poolside Emergency Assessment: The first critical step in any rescue situation is to assess the situation calmly and accurately. Our course teaches you to identify different types of emergencies, from drowning to seizures, and how to prioritise actions accordingly.
  • Safe Approach and Rescue Techniques: Learn proper poolside rescue techniques that minimise risk to yourself and the victim. This includes safe entry and exit from the water, utilising reaching and throwing equipment to pull a struggling individual to the edge, and performing in-water rescues if necessary.
  • Effective Communication: Clear and concise communication is paramount during emergencies. The course equips you with the skills to effectively communicate with the victim, bystanders, and emergency services.
  • CPR and Basic Life Support: Knowing CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) can be the difference between life and death. Our course covers CPR techniques for adults, children, and infants, allowing you to provide vital life support until medical help arrives.
  • Preventative Measures: While the course focuses on rescue skills, it also emphasises preventative measures to minimise the risk of poolside emergencies. You’ll learn about pool safety protocols, supervision techniques for children, and how to recognise potential hazards around the pool area.
