On Sunday 24th April 2022, the team<\/a> met up for the termly SwimWay instructor training. An opportunity for everyone to touch base with one another and have a rundown of the term ahead. Most importantly, a chance to catch up with the Health & Safety refresher course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Health & Safety<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Our resident Health & Safety guru Dave Perry<\/a> was there to impart his knowledge for this term’s instructor training course!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First Aid Theory Q&A Session<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Groups were split into two teams and questioned on a number of first aid procedures. Main points regarded potential incidents regarding choking, asthma, hyperventilation, bleeds and bruises. How to react in any health and safety situation is incredibly important, no matter how small the incident may seem. The session shined light on many aspects that some would not have thought to be important. There were a few queries that led to discussions about other potential issues\/scenarios and how to deal with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is why it is so important to run these sessions. They help everyone to continually build on their knowledge and understanding of SwimWay Health & Safety<\/a> operations. Staff were also urged to thoroughly review and know their NOP’s & EAP’s for every<\/a> <\/a><\/strong>site<\/a>. This is important in case they had to cover at a pool they don’t normally work at.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Practical CPR Refresher <\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Following the first aid theory session was the practical CPR refresher course. This time the focus was on adult sudden collapse, adult drowning, as well as child and infant CPR (using QCPR App to measure accuracy for the infant CPR).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
