It seems the manikins used up and down the country are starting too change and evolve after what seems like forever!.
The demands placed on Lifeguards means that they need more realistic manikins to train with and these includes swimming pool manikins, such as the Pool Rescue Manikin designed by Ruth Lee.
These manikins help trainers to teach a variety of skills depending on the rescue scenario. The Pool Rescue manikin was designed with assistance from the RLSS UK and tested extensively by their lifeguards and lifeguard trainers and assessors
Poolview on the other hand must still complete our series of tests using the manikin described in the European Standard which thankfully at last may well be getting an update to reflect the needs for more accurate and realistic live testing in the pool.
