Can the Blended Learning Lifeguarding Instructor's Manual be used to teach the instructor-led course?

The Blended Learning Lifeguarding Instructor's Manual is designed specifically to support a blended learning format, which combines online learning with in-person instruction. While it is a valuable resource for teaching, the manual is not intended to be used in its entirety for instructor-led courses. Instead, it complements specific elements of the training that occur during the course. Therefore, the manual cannot be used alone for teaching the instructor-led course.

The effectiveness of the blended learning approach relies on integrating the manual's content with online modules and in-person training sessions, ensuring that instructors and students engage with both formats to maximize learning outcomes. By relying solely on the instructor manual without the integration of these components, you would miss critical interactive and practical aspects essential for comprehensive lifeguard training.
