Ellis lifeguard for Wildwater Kingdom in Allentown PA. Same exact uniform for our girls and our whistle system is different yet. 1 short is for a guest 1vlong is going in for a save/activate eap 2 short is supervisor and 2 long is something ridiculous like a ride.fell down
@fcg81732 Our last audit was 2 weeks ago. we did 3 vats, One at the bottom of body slides, one at the wave pool, and one at the the toilet bowl slide. then we had a lot of scanning audits, and i did the solo cpr audit, and we had one scenario.
@partyboy0746 word..when was your last audit? we were audited yesterday afternoon...had two practicals. one in our toilet bowl type body slide and one in the main pool
@fcg81732 only lead lifeguards and supervisors have radios, everyone else has to use whistles.. and we activate the EMP and and say "lifeguard needs assistance, i need a bag and a backboard"
@partyboy0746 i'm an ellis guard too and our whistle system is similar...the only differences in my park is that we contact leads over radio and we have a 3 long whistle blast for a suspected spinal
@partyboy0746 ahh for us its mandatory. which is good because as i was walking to my break, a lady had a seizure at the bottom of a catch pool, we had to get her out and get ready for cpr just incase. had all my universal precautions in my fanny pack :)
@partyboy0746 ik the whistles :). i said nice whistle for guests attention cause it was a short whistle. and she never showed her fanny pack with her universal precautions and her easy seal (which is the way we carry around our stuff at the park i work at).
and for us. 1 short whitsle is guest, 2 short is guards attention (this includes shift lead, supervisors and emt of the park), many short rapid whistles means evacuate the pool. 1 longs means entering water and losing 10/20 and 2 is eap :)

@Ihit2run2 At my park, the fanny pack is optional, because we dont need to carry around our easy seal.
