Lifeguards and Emergencies
Lifeguards and Emergencies
A lifeguard’s first priority is the safety of swimmers. Since each guard is responsible for many people at
one time, lifeguards will position themselves in certain locations to maintain a clear view of the pool area.
Lifeguards will also check the steam room and other amenities frequently. To keep alert, a lifeguard will
regularly switch deck locations or switch to off-deck duties for a little while. For everyone’s safety, please do
not distract the lifeguard.
Lifeguards undergo extensive, ongoing training in the areas of facility operations, site specific safety,
emergency procedures and rescue scenarios, along with regularly recertifying awards recognized by the
national certifiying body. City of Yellowknife lifeguards are also equipped with the latest lifesaving equipment
such as Automated External Defibrillators (AED), aquatic spine boards, and first aid supplies. The guards will
sound one long whistle blast in the case of a major emergency where patrons need to leave the water.
Please do your part to ensure everyone’s safety and follow the directions of the lifeguard staff.

• Active supervision is defined as being able to render immediate assistance (a few seconds away from the child) and in swimming attire.
• Children six years and younger must be supervised by an adult (18+ years) at a 4:1 ratio, or a youth (13+ years) at a 1:1 ratio.
• The RIMP Facility Swim Test consists of a minimum of two widths of the pool doing a face in, front swim. A lifeguard may ask a patron to
demonstrate the ability to pass this swim test at any time or may ask patrons to use a lifejacket. Swimmers of all ages must wear appropriate
swimming attire, which consists of clothing worn for swimming only. No street clothes or undergarments can be worn in the pool.
• Children who are not toilet trained must wear a diaper designed for swimming. Suitable products may be purchased at the admission desk.
Disposable or cloth diapers without plastic covers are not permitted, as pool foulings can lead to pool closures and program delays for everyone.
• Patrons with serious medical conditions (seizure disorders, heart conditions) must be accompanied by a person knowledgeable of their
condition and directly responsible for their supervision. Any patrons with a Medic Alert or known medical conditions should report the condition
to the guard on duty. The companion will be able to swim at no charge.

LEVEL DESCRIPTION
RCSK 1 Swimmers receive an orientation to water and the pool area and work on floats, glides, and kicking. Swimmers build their
endurance by working on the 5m front swim.
RCSK 2 Swimmers work on propulsion skills to move through the water and to remain at the surface. Swimmers work on the front
swim (5m) and learn about deep-water activities and proper use of a Personal Floatation Device (PFD). Fitness activities
include the 10m flutter kick and a 10m distance swim.
RCSK 3 This level provides an introduction to diving, and teaches swimmers how to make wise choices about where and when
to swim. Endurance is achieved by building strength in the flutter kick and a 15m swim.
RCSK 4 This level introduces the front crawl (10m) and back swim with shoulder roll (15m). Swimmers work on kneeling dives,
surface support (45 seconds, deep water), and developing a greater sense of self-safety by understanding their own
limits. Endurance is built through a 25m swim.
RCSK 5 This level introduces the back crawl (15m), sculling skills, whip kick on the back, stride dives, and treading water. Front
crawl increases to 15m. An introduction to safe boating skills is also included. Endurance is developed through a 50m
swim.
RCSK 6 This level refines front crawl with a focus on hand entry and breathing (25m), back crawl with a focus on arm positions
and body roll (25m), and introduces elementary backstroke (15m), safety on ice, and rescue of others with throwing
assists. Swimmers demonstrate the front dive and their ability to tread water in deep water for 1.5 minutes. Endurance
is built through dolphin kick and a 75m swim.
RCSK 7 This level builds skills and endurance for the front crawl (50m), back crawl (50m), elementary backstroke (25m) and
introduces whip kick on the front. Swimmers learn about airway and breathing obstructions, reach assists and stride
entry. Swimming endurance is increased to a 150m swim.
RCSK 8 This level is an introduction to breaststroke (15m) and feet-first surface dives. Swimmers learn about the dangers of
open water, hypothermia, the performance of rescue breathing on children and adults, and standing shallow dives.
Swimmers participate in timed treading water activities using the eggbeater skill for three minutes to improve their ability
to remain at the surface in the event of an unexpected fall into water. Endurance is built on a 300m swim. Front crawl
and back crawl distances are increased to 75m each.
RCSK 9 This level refines the front crawl (100m), back crawl (100m), elementary backstroke (50m), and breaststroke (25m),
and encourages swimmers to combine different kicks for fitness (three minutes). They also work on head-first surface
dives and learn about wise choices, peer influences, and self-rescue from ice. Endurance is built through a 400m swim.
RCSK 10 This level is a final assessment of the strokes for technique and distance (front crawl 100m, back crawl 100m, elementary
backstroke 50m, breaststroke 50m, and sidestroke 25m). Swimmers learn about sun safety, rescue of others from ice,
and head-first and feet-first surface dives. Endurance is built using the dolphin kick (vertical) and a 500m swim.

What to Expect at Your Swim Lessons
First Day – Instructors will meet their class on the pool deck and take them to their designated meeting place.
Please present your child’s last Red Cross progress card to the instructor. Instructors will screen students to
ensure they are registered in the appropriate level.
Last Day – Progress Card Day! The card will outline the student’s successes and challenges this session. It
also indicates which level to register your child in the next time they take lessons. If the level is complete, the
card will have a Red Cross badge or sticker. If there are more skills to complete no stickers or badges are
given out and the card will indicate which skills or strokes require more work.
Children are not permitted in the water before or after their lesson, as staff is moving on to their next lesson
and it is unsafe. For more information contact the pool at (867) 920-5683.
