Examiner Staff Reporter Were looking for little blondhaired boy in dark blue bathing suit who is lost somewhere in the area This is not simulation voice roars over bull horn Wednesday morning at Cen tennial Beach mother nervously fights back the tears of despair as lifeguards practising simulated rescues at the beach go into action call goes out for volunteers to help with the search just as the little threeandahalfyear old boy is found in the public washroom The lost child situation is the one that makes lifeguards the most apprehensive says Brian McAlister head ard at Centennial and qua ified National Lifeguard Service NLS instructor The guards know how to deal with body in the water but what happens if you dont know where the per son is In typical situation of lost child at beachMr McAllister said parent usually goes to the nearest lifeguard and makes report The guard he said tells the other uards by blowing three lon asts on the whistle and ma ing sign holding the arms out straight The water is cleared and the search of water and land starts usually in the area the child waslast seen So far this summer there have been number of lost child reports at the two beaches For the Wednesday morning mother the situation ended happily It was lucky the city lifeguards were practising at Centennial The two beaches Centennial and Johnson are only super vised between and pm seven days week But the lifeguards volunteer time to practise simulation rescues MOST PRACTISE For five days week bet ween 10 am and 1130 am at Centennial most of the citys l2 lifeguards practise simulated rescues and emergency situations Often the simulations requires clearing the water much to the dismay of morning swimmers Between 12 noon and 1245 pm the seven guards at Cen tennial volunteer more time to swim about 900 yards for con ditioning All the guards have trainin in the NLS course whic teaches preventive lifeguar ding Mr McAllister said ex Rick Jarvis city lifeguard is the victim as other guards Karen Eaton Brian McAllister and Bon nie Mullen carry him to shore while giving mouth plaining the guards are taught to sto situation from hap pening eforeithappens The guards are taught to note where the elderly people are swimming or where pie with medical alert brace ets are as well as watch the other people in thewater The course teaches them how to lifeguard he said The guards are highly trained and have very good attitudes towards the job There are 10 guards com peting for six positions on the citys competitive lifeguard team entered in the Ontario Waterfront championship Aug 6in North Bay Barrie team entered for the first time last year laced sixth in the province whife win ning first place in the first aid competition ALI HAVE BRONZE All the lifeguards have at least their Bronze Medallion and most have the award of merit Both courses teach the methods of rescuing people in trouble in the water But the NLS course is con sidered the highest award for lifeguardsin Canada Mr McAllister said the lifeguards use an intensive zone style at the city beaches At Centennial there are three towers and two guards on dleboards at the end of 520p bouyed area Each guard is responsible for section of the water scanning in pattern All the zones overlap with one or two other zones to provide the maximum coverage Another distinctive part of guarding the city beaches is the communication between the guards Mr McAllister said He explained that number of signals are used by the guar ds to relay information There is the hand on the head in dicating an area is stable the lost child signal as well as signals for calling an am bulance and asking for help from other guards The reason Mr McAllister said for the signals is the need for speed in an emergency person is dead after six minutes underwater and there is brain damage after four minutes he said BOND The other reason for the signals he said is to give common bond between the guards The signals boost team spirit and gels an area he said There are problems at Cen tennial Beach which are unique toswimming areas One of the problems is the drop off at the end of the tomouth resuscitation The guards are at entenr nial Beach practising simulation rescues and emergency situations There are 10 guards prac bou ed area Mr McAllister sai the gives sudden drop from about five or six feet to 30 feet According to the NLS guidebook he said the maximum depth for good ef fective search is 15 feet Once an unconscious perSOn hits the bottom of the swim ming area the body will roll down the slope to the bottom he said There is problem with in flatable toys balls matresses and water wings in the swim ming area The city does not permit the use of the inflatable equipment There is printed sheet available from the guards ex plaining the cit reasons for not allowing equipment These include they do not keep the face out of the water water wings wsusceptible to puncture 1in sand or on stones wind and wave action will blow child beyond depth eithey are teaching aids and not life preservers NOSNORKELS The city does permit govern ment approved life jackets and will allow people to use mask and fins in the swimming area but not snorkel The lifeguards also have to contend with boats going too close to the swimming area and people diving off of the floating fountain The fountain has warning signs saying danger high voltage Mr McAllister said But about 20 times day guard has to take pad dlcboard and tell people to get off the fountain As soon as guard leaves his or her st another problem is createdffihe said because the other guards have to increase the area they scan Mr McAllister said sometimes the guards will be troubled by undesirables at the beach trying to intimate them This takes the guards away from their number one responsibility lifeguarding He said all the guards are in structed not to argue with any beach patrons on oneto one basis The guards he said will answer questions but must try to concentrate on their job The guards job is to protect lives rather than argue about the merits of using water wings he said The training practises at the beach will continue all sum mer he said adding he hopes to hold fullscale demon tration in the future tisiiig five days week try ing for the six positions on the citys competitive lifeguard team Examiner Ihotol Sentencing July
