Find all your lifeguard first aid kits

It is required for all lifeguards to be in possession of a range of equipment designed to help them in lifesaving scenarios, or to simply tend to accidents that occur by the water. Many people tend to think of lifeguard equipment as rescue tubes, ring buoys, rescue boards and rescue cans (which you can also find at SwimOutlet), but first aid kits are another essential part of poolside duty that should not be forgotten.

Lifeguard first aid kits can range from the portable type III kit, designed to be carried around inside and outside. To the more heavy duty lifeguard trauma bag. Each first aid kit is expected to be kitted out (and constantly replenished) with a variety of bandages, dressings, wipes, and lifesaving equipment and accessories. Many of the kits available at SwimOutlet come complete with an entire collection of first aid contents, making it easy for your pool to be prepared for any emergency.
