Pool Rescue (Sinking)
The Pool Rescue Training Dummy is a revolutionary new product designed to innovate the way lifeguard training is conducted.
This product brings together different elements of lifeguard training, allowing trainees to seamlessly practice different techniques without needing to switch between different equipment or live volunteers.
Designed specifically for lifeguard training and developed with assistance from the Royal Life Saving Society (RLSS) in the UK. This dummy has been created to allow trainee lifeguards to learn all the skills required to safely retrieve a person from the pool. This dummy combines different elements of training to allow trainees
to improve response times - SAVING LIVES.
The video below compares the difference between the plastic torso commonly used today, and our new Pool Rescue. (You can also download the comparison here.)
We have a demo dummy (Paul) available for you to try before you buy. Call for details.
• Constructed from the same material used in Police ballistic/stab vests, offering 4x the strength and abrasion resistance of 16oz canvas or P.V.C. (conforms to OEKO-TEX® Standard 100, BS EN ISO 12947-2 & 14116: 2008). High-density polypropylene webbing (25mm rated to 207 Kg, 50mm rated to 440Kg).
• Buoyancy characteristics are achieved using closed cell foam and PVC pellets with s.g. 1.5.

- Carefully designed and tested to create realistic buoyancy - it will sink, yet is buoyant enough to float when being towed. It will feel like an ‘unconscious’ person in the water.
- A more realistic challenge compared to using live volunteers who may try to subconsciously ‘assist’ the trainee.
- The use of a dummy can reduce the need to use volunteers in training scenarios, thereby avoiding potential injury and any embarrassment caused by close personal contact.
- Greatly improves performance - trainers can easily spot weaknesses such as slow towing, as the dummy’s legs will start to sink if a consistent speed is not maintained.
- Flexible arms, reinforced with strong webbing allow the arms to be raised aloft, letting lifeguards practice hauling the ‘victim’ from the water using correct lifting techniques.
- No need to switch from plastic dummy to real volunteer part way through training – this dummy can be fetched from the bottom of the pool, towed to the side and recovered from the water - promoting more realistic and more effective training, ultimately making lifeguards even better!
- Constructed using a reinforced Nylon mesh which allows water ingress, meaning the dummy will sink when placed in water.
- Mesh allows for ventilation and rapid draining when the dummy is retrieved from the water.
- Detailed care instructions will be provided with the dummy.
