Weekly Warm-Up: CPR Part 1

The first in a five-part series examining CPR best-practices.

It’s time to brush up on our CPR skills.

We’re kicking off a 5-part series for lifeguard instructors to train their staff on CPR. In the video above, my staff demonstrates how to perform CPR in a single-rescue situation.

Make sure your trainee is first assessing the victim — no pulse, no breathing, no severe bleeding. Keep a close watch on the compression rate.

This series will get progressively more difficult with each installment, with drills covering two-rescuer scenarios and use of an AED.

Good luck, and keep training!
