Canadian Lifesaving Manual

if anybody is taking swimming lessons (bronze star, medallion, cross, etc), you'll know which book i'm talking about. It's a manual by the Lifesaving Society, and it's a great book for anybody interested in being a lifeguard or an instructor. It teaches the first aid treatment (both illness and injury), first aid rescue process, the lifesaving priorities (airway, breathing, circulation), other specialized lifesaving skills, and just generally stuff essential for being water smart/safe.

Recently, i heard that many parents are starting to invest in swimming lessons for their kids since drowning is one of the highest cause of death rates. and i think that's a good idea because knowing how to swim can either mean life or death in a water related emergency.
