Body Roll with Opening the Airway on a Prone Victim with 2 Rescuers This drill supports the Primary Assessment Progression drills. (Aquatics International, March 2014) Guidelines: Lifeguards are in 3-person teams, with a primary rescuer, a secondary rescuer, and a victim. No gloves at this time. Primary rescuer and secondary rescuer work as a team to roll the victim into the supine position while safely guarding the head, neck and back. NOTE: this is a non-spinal injury victim. Once the victim is on their back, one of the rescuers will move to open the victim's airway either with a head tilt/ chin lift or jaw thrust with head extension maneuver. Supporting rescuer can move into position to give compressions if necessary. This is an all pass drill, meaning all rescuers must complete the drill for the lifeguard team to receive a pass. This drill must be completed in 5 seconds. A 6-12 lifeguard team is preferred. Depending on size of staff, modify to accomodate needs.
