What type of training must lifeguards complete to work at Boomerang Bay?
Boomerang Bay lifeguards must complete the Ellis and Associate International Lifeguard Training Program; they maintain their skills by attending monthly in-service training throughout the season. Boomerang Bay lifeguards participate in both daily audits with the Kings Island supervisors and monthly audits conducted by Ellis and Associate’s national staff. In addition to evaluations of scanning and life-saving skills, Kings Island administers Vigilance Awareness Training (VAT) tests during operation. VAT tests involve the placement and indentification of a life-like mannequin in a lifeguard’s zone during operating hours.
