In the November/December 2022 issue of Aquatics International magazine, the eLifeguard.com old style Turtle Rescue Tube made an appearance at the Turtle Splash Water Park - West Chicago Park District. The old style rescue tube has now been replaced by the new industry standard LIFE™ Rescue Tube. The proprietary ultra-durable material and the unique patented design of the LIFE Rescue Tube have led to its dominance in the lifesaving industry.

"Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result", so they say. Using an old style vinyl coated rescue tubes that were invented half a century ago would fall into the insanity category, you might say. Lifesaving and lifeguard rescue tube technology made a major leap forward in 2015 with the invention of the industry changing LIFE™ Rescue Tube. The LIFE Rescue Tube is now the #1 selling rescue tube in the world and is not letting up any time soon. With recent adoption among various lifesaving certification agencies around the world, the LIFE Tube is here to stay and now the rescue tube of choice among lifesavers worldwide.

Lifeguards, Aquatics Professionals, and Recreation Directors met this week at the Kansas Recreation and Park Association (KRPA) Conference to discuss new technologies in the field of aquatics and lifesaving among other areas related to recreation. Lifeguards in Kansas along with Lifeguards from throughout the US and abroad are updating their Lifesaving technology and training adapting it to modern advances that have been revolutionizing the industry over the past several years. Revolutionary products such as the LIFE™ Rescue Tube, ER7 Lifeguard Backboard, and Seal Quik™ Mask are a favorite among Lifeguards seeking to improve their readiness and speed of response to helps victims (guest in distress) in need.

The Speed Entry™ Maneuver is a revolutionary new lifesaving entry that allows a rescuer to enter the water and reach a distressed or drowning swimmer at a much faster rate than older, slower entries such as the stride jump entry.
The Speed Entry™ is not a dive and, if done correctly, the rescuer's head should never get wet. The LIFE™ Rescue Tube is positioned between the rescuer and the water, much like a small surfboard, allowing the rescuer upon contact with the water, to glide forward directly towards the victim at a fast rate of speed. The Speed Entry™ position also allows the rescuer to easily transition into a faster Surf Paddle™ approach and subsequently into one of the new LIFE™ Rescue Tube rescue maneuvers.

The destructive power of Hurricane Irma has caused loss of life, misery, and / or destruction for many thousands of residents of The United States and the Caribbean over the past week. With all of that bad news, we were pleased to see that the LIFE Rescue that we left outside by accident during the Hurricane was found undamaged, hundreds of feet from its original location wedged against a chain link fence. The LIFE Rescue Tube is used by Search & Rescue Teams nationwide including the Brevard County, Florida Sheriffs Department. Brevard County, along with most other Counties in Florida, was hit hard by Hurricane Irma.
