Pool Lifeguards

"Swimmers look to me for protection and pool safety guidance. By understanding VGB guidelines and entrapment avoidance, I can keep my swimmers safe and informed."

Did you know even new drain covers that are VGB compliant can cause entrapment hazards if they are damaged or improperly installed? Or that shallow kiddie pools pose the highest entrapment and evisceration risks? VGB training is not just about government compliance. It's about preventing entrapments and saving lives.

As a lifeguard, you are on the front lines of accident prevention, and provide a critical link between entrapment awareness and consumers. By attending a training event near you, you will learn:

  • How and why entrapment and evisceration occurs
  • How to spot potential entrapment and evisceration hazards
  • How to advise your swimmers on drain entrapment avoidance
  • How to communicate with parents about the risks of entrapment and evisceration, and how they can protect their children

The public looks to you for protection and pool safety. Make sure you have the knowledge you need to effectively protect your little swimmers by registering for a VGB training event today.
