Basic Water Rescue

Basic water rescue involves techniques to safely assist someone in distress in or near water. Key steps include recognizing a person in trouble, maintaining safety awareness, and using tools like reaching, throwing, or wading to help without putting oneself at risk. Rescue methods prioritize stabilizing the person's situation, such as supporting their head and body or guiding them to safety. Effective training emphasizes calmness, proper technique, and appropriate equipment use to prevent further danger, ensuring both rescuer and victim return safely.
