PRT 406 Risk Management
Download as DOCX, PDF0 likes148 views
The top three risks for a camp swimming pool are campers drowning, getting lost, and slipping or falling. To prevent drowning, camps should mandate swim tests for campers and provide life jackets for non-passers. To prevent campers from getting lost, staff should closely monitor who enters and exits the pool and regularly count campers. To prevent slipping, camps should enforce a "walk" policy. Risk management approaches include accreditation, maintaining proper staff-to-camper ratios, swim tests, life jackets, unannounced inspections, safety policies, and separating swimmers by age.

Abstract
Keywords: Drowning, prevention, rescue, water competence, swimming behaviour.
Organization: ESS is a non-profit organization founded in 1996 with the aim of researching and improving the life saving skills of professional lifeguards in terms of drowning prevention and water rescue. Our Instructing Team has been developing new methods in order to enhance our teaching strategies and skill acquisition.
Background/Introduction
Among aquatic experts, there is not an agreed definition as to what constitutes competency in the aquatic environment and, also, about the role of the swimming proficiency and its influence to protect against drowning. (Moran, 2012). Apart from water competence, there is a long list of factors and circumstances to consider when we talk about drowning and its prevention, and from the last decades, outstanding advances has been made regarding the discovery and comprehension of most of them.
The discrepancy between self-estimation of water competence with in-water testing of real competencies, makes it difficult to ascertain whether the swimming proficiency decrease the risk of drowning. Apart from the well-known gender and age differences, the assessment of the potential dangers involved in aquatic activities are highly related to self-perception of the performance in the water.
The approaches that have been made in those research line, had led to discover how big, why and where this discrepancy occurs. Also, to establish a series of practical tests to check both the level of aquatic skills and competence, and to determine if the criteria commonly used in those campaigns (such as "I can swim") are valid and reliable to establish a standard definition of water competence. All of them would provide a deeper understanding of why a good water performance would increase our assessment and confidence in water.
It must be said that most of them are focused on performance in water, measured in terms of distance, time or quantity of skills involved and its relationship with swimmers self-perception and real performance, rather than evaluate the quality level of domain itself and their possible protective effects against drowning, mainly due to important methodological or ethical limitations.2017 IBWSS: Education and Training: Are We Focused on the Wrong Metric?

A review of the United States Coast Guard annual statistics shows a recurring pattern that operator controllable factors are consistently the top five primary factors of boating accidents. Past efforts of the recreational boating community have focused on knowledge based training and outreach efforts, with the metric being how many boaters have had knowledge training. It would appear a continued focus on this metric does not address the issues that have lead to the continued dominance of operator controllable factors as the primary factor in boating accidents. What the statistics do appear to show is a need for skills training and an assessment of the impact that training has on operator controllable factors. Initial survey results of Discover Boating HOST program participants indicated that 54% had an increased awareness of safety; 61% believe the training helped them avoid an accident or unsafe situation; and 18% reported an increase in their life jacket wear rate.
This presentation offers that using a metric that addresses the skills of boat operators is more appropriate to achieving the National Recreational Boating Safety Program 2017-2022 Strategic Plan priority of cultivating . . . a boating public that is better prepared to engage in safer boating behaviors.Ocean Lifeguard Training Course Broome Pool.

Nearly 800 children drown in the US each year, most often in pools during summer months for young children and in natural waters for older children. Supervision is critical for water safety, as drowning can occur silently in under a minute. Parents should never leave young children unattended in water and designate a "water watcher" if supervising multiple children. Teaching children water survival skills like floating and swimming can help save their lives if they fall in unexpectedly.Test av ebok HSK 2016

This document provides instruction on performing the back crawl swimming stroke properly. It discusses the key aspects of body position, leg action, and arm action for the stroke. Body position should be horizontal with the back of the head in the water and hips high. The leg kick is an alternating up and down motion that is partly sideways and vertical. The arm action is most effective when using a bent arm or "S pull" technique, which allows a faster stroke rate and more propulsion compared to a straight arm technique. Mastering proper form for each element is necessary to perform the back crawl stroke efficiently.2017-summer-camp-presentation.pptx

PRT 406 Risk Management
- 1. Joanna Bertram September 22, 2015 PRT 406 Risk Management Plan Top Three Risks The top three high probability risks for a camp swimming pool environment are: Campers Drowning Due to the environment the children are in (a pool) and the ratio of campers to counselors and lifeguards, children may not be seen struggling until it is too late. Steps to prevent this is mandating a swim test for each camper and providing life jackets for campers who do not pass the test. Campers Getting Lost Due to the casual environment of the pool, losing a child is a risk. Steps to avoid this are paying attention to children getting in and out of the pool, constantly doing face counts. Campers Slipping and Falling Due to the wet floors and the tendency of children to run, the probability of a child slipping and falling is high. Steps to avoid this include enforcing the walk policy. Risk Management Approach The steps taken to reduce risk in the pool environment include being accredited camp, having the recommended ratio of lifeguards and counselors to campers, mandating a swim test and providing life jackets for campers who do not pass a swim test. Accreditation must be done out of house by the American Camp Association and should follow their recommended time frame for reaccreditation. The ratio for campers to counselors and lifeguards should follow the guidelines for the accrediting organization and should be checked and supervised by managers daily. A swim test should be conducted by lifeguards and supervised by counselors. While the lifeguards assess the campers swimming ability, counselors should mark off which campers need the life jackets and put the jackets on the campers who need them. Each day of swimming, counselors should check their sheet for children who need the life jackets and give them to those campers. Other risk management approaches include unplanned manager visits to the pool, implementing a no dunking and throwing policy, and separating swim time by age. Constantly going over the policies with staff is crucial in maintaining a safe environment for the campers and reducing risk.
