As Puerto Vallarta prepares for an influx of tourists during the upcoming holiday season, local lifeguards are undergoing intensive training to ensure the safety of beachgoers. The lifeguards, who are part of the city’s Civil Protection and Fire Department, are honing their skills in water rescues, first aid, CPR, and the use of specialized rescue equipment.
The training sessions include both theoretical and practical components, with lifeguards practicing rescue techniques on the city’s beaches. The goal is to ensure that they are prepared to respond effectively to a wide range of emergency situations, from minor injuries to serious water rescues.
With hotel occupancy rates expected to exceed 85% during peak periods, and potentially reaching full capacity on weekends, the demand for lifeguard services will be high. The city is anticipating a significant increase in the number of beachgoers and is taking proactive measures to ensure their safety.
