The Pool Rescue Manikin is a specialized, full-body training aid crafted to simulate a passive drowning victim in a swimming pool or calm water setting. Designed for lifeguard certification programs, aquatic safety courses, and rescue skill assessments, it enables trainees to practice real-world scenarios safely and effectively.
This manikin features realistic buoyancy that mimics the behaviour of a human body in water—floating at the surface when needed or sinking to simulate submerged victim recovery. Its human-like proportions, jointed limbs, and balanced weight distribution allow for accurate simulation of unconscious casualty handling, including head support, in-water towing, and spinal board practice.
Key Features:
-
Realistic Floating & Sinking Behaviour: Designed to replicate the movement and resistance of a person in water.
-
Lifeguard Training Focus: Ideal for surface rescues, sub-surface recovery, spinal immobilization, and team-based drills.
-
Durable, Chlorine-Resistant Materials: Built to withstand repeated use in chlorinated or freshwater pools.
-
High-Visibility Details: Easy to locate during training while maintaining a realistic appearance.
-
Multiple Weight Options: Available in adult and youth sizes to match various training needs.
The Pool Rescue Manikin is an essential tool for developing confidence, consistency, and competence in aquatic rescue scenarios, helping ensure lifeguards and water safety professionals are prepared to act decisively and effectively.
