CMAHC-Aligned Training

Certification follows current aquatic safety standards, with training available in and around Lampasas.

Core Curriculum

In Lampasas County, the material covers two disciplines, water rescue and surveillance, and professional resuscitation.

Water Rescue & Surveillance

  • Active vs. Passive Recognition: Work a systematic scan and recognise both the active struggle and the passive, unconscious casualty.
  • Water Entries: Choose an entry that suits the depth and the layout, then perform it at speed.
  • In-Water Stabilization: Manage suspected spinal injuries in the water, which is where handling errors do the most harm.

CPR & AED Training

  • High-Quality Compressions: Rate and depth to standard, with complete chest recoil every time.
  • AED Operation: Site the pads properly and keep interruptions to compressions as short as the device allows.
  • Rescue Breathing: Rescue breathing at the ratio that matches the casualty, adult, child or infant.

  • Tread water for 2 minutes using only your legs.
  • Recover a 10-pound object lying at 7 to 10 feet inside 1 minute 40 seconds, then carry it back through the water without touching a ladder or the steps.
