YMCA Lifeguards Adopting New LIFE™ Rescue Tube

Alec Walsh LifeguardAlong with all the other various types of aquatic facilities across the country, YMCA aquatic facilities appear to be fully on board and full steam ahead with the new lifeguard rescue tube that is changing the way lifeguards perform assists and rescues.

The new LIFE™ Rescue Tube has seemingly propelled lifeguards light-years ahead when it comes to speed and accuracy in nearly all their performances that require use of a rescue tube. The LIFE GRIP™ handles provide impeccable grip and function for lifeguards to carry and maneuver the new tube while subsequently giving drowning victims much to hold onto. This feature alone sets the LIFE™ Rescue Tube in a class by itself, not to mention the increased durability and replaceable strap feature.Underwater Collage

YMCAs around the country offer members and patrons a wide range of aquatic facility options ranging from traditional pools to lakefronts, to waterpark slides to lazy rivers. With such a long-standing history of aquatic offerings and a top-notch dedicated lifesaving program, YMCA Collageit seems an obvious fit for YMCAs to be adopting new technologies that would put them at the forefront of the industry. In the case of the LIFE™ Rescue Tube, it is evident that the YMCA is setting a high standard for aquatic facilities and is making safety and security of its lifeguards and swimmers the highest priority. YMCAs, as a whole are adopting the new rescue tube at a faster rate than all other types of facilities of a similar nature. At the current rate, nearly every YMCA aquatic facility in the United States will be using the new LIFE™ Rescue Tube within the next few years.
