Kiddie pools are an easy, contained option for cold water immersion. Be sure the your dimensions allow for the patient to have their full body in the tub! 🛁

[SWATA D6 SSATC @SWATAD6_SSATC]

Another affordable cooling option! A heavy duty tarp is an easy solution for the TACO method of cooling 🌮

[SWATA D6 SSATC @SWATAD6_SSATC]

We’re just a week away from checking in at SWATA! After you get checked in to your hotel room, come down and join us for a social hour before your night kicks off!
Would love to see all SSATs there!

[SWATA D6 SSATC @SWATAD6_SSATC]

We need cold water immersion, affordably! Check out one option from @alert_services_ of a Titan Rapid Cooling Bag!

❓Are you prepared ❓
Any time a WBGT reading is 82 or above, you need to have a cold immersion on site. Do you have a plan?

[SWATA D6 SSATC @SWATAD6_SSATC]

@morris_atc 👏🏼 that’s exactly what it’s here for!

[SWATA D6 SSATC @SWATAD6_SSATC]

🗣️ Talking point!
We all know the deeper into WBGT numbers we are, the more equipment needs to be removed. Collaborate with your coach on a modified practice plan, including doing equipment heavy drills first, instead of cancelling practice all together.
Coaches 🤝 ATs= safety

[SWATA D6 SSATC @SWATAD6_SSATC]

Let’s tackle rest breaks! We all know we need them incorporated into practices, especially when working within WBGT concerns. Here’s some tips on the rest breaks 👇🏼

[SWATA D6 SSATC @SWATAD6_SSATC]

We are very excited to partner with @alert_services_ to grant SIX Titan Rapid Cooling Bags for schools in need! ATs, ADs, or Coordinators submit your application today!
Applications close July 25

🗣️ Talking Point!
Have admin or coaches asking why use Wet Bulb Globe Thermometer? The comprehensiveness of utilizing WBGT is the gold standard for safety because it takes into account all of the factors of the environment

[SWATA D6 SSATC @SWATAD6_SSATC]

Happy July! It’s still summer but August, and the heat that joins is right around the corner. Join the SWATA SSATC all month long as we help you navigate all things WBGT!
