water rescue techniques

Water rescue techniques involve assessing the situation, ensuring safety, and providing assistance to individuals in distress in water. Key methods include: 1. **Reach**: Extending a pole, branch, or rope to the person from a safe distance. 2. **Throw**: Tossing a flotation device or buoy to the person, allowing them to stay afloat. 3. **Row**: Using a boat or kayak to reach the person safely. 4. **Go**: Swimming to the person only if trained and it's safe to do so, as this can increase risk. Always call for professional help when possible, and prioritize personal safety.
