Personal lifeguard kit

VHF radio
Ideal for the harsh beach environment, these handheld VHF radios are fully waterproof to a depth of 1m and can withstand a 1m drop onto a hard surface.

Binoculars
Tough and durable, these binoculars are designed with the beach environment in mind, allowing the lifeguard a closer look at a situation far away.

Personal first aid kit
These first aid kits are lightweight and can be carried by a lifeguard when on a general patrol, enabling them to respond immediately to many types of first aid incidents.

Rescue tube
The traditional lifeguard's friend. Can be strapped around an unconscious patient - aiding flotation and allowing deep water resuscitation to be performed. A lifeguard must be a strong swimmer to tow a patient in with a rescue tube.

Defibrilator
A defibrilator is used to administer an electric shock through the chest to the heart, to restore normal heart rhythm in cardiac arrest victims. When a person suffers a sudden arrest, their chance of survival decreases significantly for each minute that passes without defibrillation.

Windbreak
Often used to set up a beach patrol area or to mark out a storage area for rescue equipment on the beach. A great tool to increase profile.
