In the world of lifeguarding and water rescue, understanding the use of aquatic spineboards for backboarding and extrication is critical. Aquatic spineboards are specifically designed for the unique challenges water rescuers face when dealing with victims in a pool, lake, or surf environment.
These boards provide greater stability than traditional land-based boards due to their shape and buoyancy characteristics while also keeping the patient as stable as possible during long-distance towing.
The critical nature of such rescues often means that the patient needs to be removed quickly and efficiently, so having a board designed specifically for water-based extraction is essential. Aquatic spineboards have been designed to provide the right balance of stability and maneuverability, allowing lifeguards and rescue teams to get victims out of dangerous situations quickly.

POOL SEASON typically runs from May through the end of September. The United States Lifesaving Association (USLA) recorded over 26,000 water rescues in 2021 in the United States.

Everywhere you look it seems like there is a desperate situation that needs attention. War in Ukraine, refugees forced to leave home and wander into new territories, poor water conditions in third world countries, growing orphanages and foster children, lack of medical care, homelessness in our cities, abandoned elderly, and the list goes on and on.
