ER-Pool is also a suitable qualification to back up and support the lifeguard team. In addition, this qualification is an excellent foundation for becoming a lifeguard and completing the RLSS UK National Pool Lifeguard Qualification.
The ER-Pool programme is designed for use in small pools no greater than 1.5m in depth such as a health club or hotel pool.
For pools that require direct supervision on poolside and for larger pools, the RLSS UK National Pool Lifeguard Qualification would be more suitable.
ATSPRA is a supervision and rescue qualification for therapists, teachers and support staff working on the poolside or in the water during activities such as, aquatic therapy or therapeutic exercise/play. The qualification is suitable for use in shallow pools where the rescuer will not be required to swim to perform a rescue, with water no deeper than the rescuers chest depth.
