This course will teach participants the skills and knowledge needed to supervise clients in aquatic locations, and provide a safer environment. This includes identifying and taking action for inappropriate behaviour, unsafe environmental conditions, individual(s) experiencing difficulty in the water and recognising emergency/rescue situations.
Training will also cover the requirements for effective and appropriate communication, reporting incidents and maintaining confidentiality.
