WATER RESCUES FOR RESPONSIVE
GUESTS EXAM QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS
assist - Answer-help an active guest in distress without entering the water, while still
maintaining your 10/20 Protection Standard
rescue - Answer-you must enter the water, leaving your zone unprotected, to help a
guest in distress.
The three most common types of safe entries are: - Answer-• Compact jump entry
(Entry from the pool deck or elevated chair)
• High step entry (Entry from a zero-depth area into waves or deeper water)
• Ease-in entry (Entry if a guest with suspected spinal injury is near you)
the compact jump entry - Answer-1. Identify the guest in distress and the water area in
front of you and activate the EAP before you jump
2. Hold the rescue tube against your chest with the excess line secure
3. Jump into the water with your legs together, knees bent, and feet flat (if you
submerge, the buoyancy of the tube will bring you quickly to the surface)
4. Approach the guest
High Step Entry - Answer-Carry the rescue tube beside you and run into the shallow
water with high steps so that you can step over waves as they are rolling past you
Ease-In Entry - Answer-to enter shallow water or when a nearby guest has a suspected
spinal injury. Climbing or sliding down a ladder or pool wall into the water causes little
water movement and can help to prevent further harm to a guest with suspected spinal
injury.
