Little research has evaluated the lifeguarded aquatic environment. The research that has evaluated the aquatic environment does not adequately generalize to larger pools and water parks. A study by Winston, Shadlow, Rhudy, and Lannon (2013) was the first of its kind to evaluate lifeguard reaction time to simulated aquatics emergencies known as Vigilance Awareness Trainings (VATs), in a large water park environment, and during normal operation hours. The results of the study indicated that required weekly preparedness trainings did not make lifeguards quicker at recognizing VATs. Possible reasons for this finding are twofold. First, lifeguards may have hit the ceiling in terms of response times given the low mean (e.g., quick reaction times) and large standard deviations. Second, the measurement device may not have been sensitive enough (e.g., time should have been recorded to the millisecond). However, the study did find that there was a significant difference in reaction time to the type of VAT. Specifically, active VATs were recognized significantly faster than passive VATs. The current research evaluated the effectiveness of a midsummer intervention on lifeguard scanning patterns. It further evaluated whether a one-hour midsummer scanning intervention produced an effect on speed of VAT recognition and if there were different reaction times by VAT type. The data analysis consisted of a mixed design analysis of variance (ANOVA). Results indicated that there was not a significant effect for the intervention or VAT type. Results indicated that inservice training appears to maintain but does not significantly improve lifeguards speeded VAT recognition. The research has important implications for injury prevention in children as well as effective lifeguard training models. Overall, increased vigilance and scanning is related to a safer aquatic environment.
