In brief
What you will learn
- •A briefing must be specific to the venue.
- •Everyone needs a clear stop signal.
- •Emergency roles should be named before practice.
Remove ambiguity before entering
Learners should know where depth changes, which entries are allowed, how to stop a drill and who leads an emergency response.
Ask the five questions
Where is the safe entry, where does depth change, what is the stop signal, who supervises this task and what happens if someone needs help?
- Point to exits rather than only naming them.
- Separate equipment and swimming zones.
- Repeat the briefing when the venue changes.
