Activity Consideration and Physical Distancing

gloves, face mask/shield, and gown can be used, at the discretion of each lifeguard
for all first aid once a distressed patron is out of the water.
• Staff training will occur ongoing related to new COVID-19-specific first aid and
lifeguarding procedures.
• Lifeguards need to focus on the health and safety of swimmers in a facility. Therefore,
they should not be required to enforce public health measures. Rotation staff and
Headguards will need to ensure compliance with guidelines.
• When the process of drowning begins, the outcomes are often fatal. Unlike other
injuries and many diseases, survival from drowning is determined almost exclusively at
the scene of the incident and depends on two variable factors: how quickly the
person is removed from the water, and how quickly effective resuscitation is
performed. Since risk aversion is impossible, any attempt at first aid or resuscitation,
may result in self-contamination.
• If an in-water rescue is performed, both the lifeguard and the rescued person should
be monitored for COVID symptoms and followed up with in 2 weeks.
• The Aquatic Safety Plan takes into consideration both the best outcomes for potential
injured and/or drowning persons, as well as safety for the staff, based on
Recommendations from the Canadian Red Cross and the Lifesaving Society.
