What a week! I had four shifts with no problems and now I had to write another incident report. This time it was a medical incident. I was in the main gym when over the radio I heard “Code Blue” which is a medical emergency. I went to the front desk and a woman was lying on the ground. There were a few members surrounding her in addition to a lifeguard and front desk staff member. According to a member, the woman had been dropped off by her husband, walked into the building, had a seizure, and the other front desk staff member had called the ambulance, who were on their way. When I arrived, the woman was already sitting up and conscious, more embarrassed than anything. I controlled the situation and kept incoming members from standing around, started filling out the incident report and soon after the ambulance arrived. Since this was my first important incident, the pool supervisor (head lifeguard) helped me get all of the information that I needed. The ambulance took the woman outside to give her some air and do a few tests until her husband came back to get her.
