How many manikins and AED training devices are required for every 4 participants?

For every four participants in a lifeguard training session, the requirement is to have one manikin and one AED training device available for practice. This setup ensures that each participant has the opportunity to engage actively with the equipment during their training.

Having one manikin allows for hands-on practice, which is essential for mastering techniques like CPR. Additionally, having one AED device makes it possible for participants to become familiar with the operation of an AED in a realistic training scenario. This experience is crucial, as effective use of an AED can significantly increase the chances of survival in a cardiac emergency.

While there might be scenarios where additional equipment could be beneficial, the specified standard is designed to facilitate a balance between practical experience and adequate resource availability within a manageable training group size.
