What does the EAP detail in terms of emergencies?

The Emergency Action Plan (EAP) is a critical component of lifeguard training and is specifically designed to provide clear and concise instructions on how to respond in various emergency situations. The EAP outlines the steps that lifeguards, as well as other staff members, should take to ensure safety and effective response during an incident, which may include rescues, medical emergencies, or other unforeseen events.

This plan typically includes procedures for communication, roles and responsibilities of team members, and specific actions to take depending on the nature of the emergency. As such, option C is the most appropriate choice as it directly relates to the lifetime skills and knowledge lifeguards must possess to act swiftly and efficiently in safeguarding lives.

While operational processes (like those in daily activities), local weather conditions, and standard operational guidelines may be important for overall safety and management, they do not specifically focus on the responsive actions needed during an emergency, which is the primary focus of the EAP.
