PART 1. ACTIVITY

Answer the following questions:

1 What is your idea on towing rescue?

- Towing rescue is when you need to grab a victim and take him safely. This can happen to unconscious
victims because you don't have help or the person panics and can't get your help. The latter is the
most dangerous as it can drag you into the water.

2. What is the importance of towing rescue?

- The importance of towing rescue. When approaching towed victims, first stop a few feet away from
them. Re-access the situation and calm the patient from a safe distance. Assuming he is conscious, tell
him what you are trying to do and calm down throughout the process. Keep calming him until he
landed safely

3. As a marine student, is skill in rescue important to you? Explain.

- Since we sail in the midst of the sea, having marine rescue skills is essential for us as students since
they will enable us to save lives and prevent drowning. To develop the necessary skills for sailors to
live safely, they all need to be aware of these skills.

4. How can we rescue the water victims?

They should be attempted in the order given:

• Reach – Try to reach the victim with your arm or leg. If a pole or sturdy stick is available,
try to use that to reach out to the victim and pull him to safety. Be careful not to hit the
victim.

• Throw – Throw something to the victim. Having a throw bag on hand for your
adventure on the water is the best way to be prepared. But if you forgot to bring a
throw bag, you could also use a rope or a rescue ring. It could also be something which
floats which the victim can use to keep himself above water. Coolers float! Once again,
be careful not to hurt the victim by hitting them with something hard.
• Row – Get a boat out to the victim. You will need two people in the boat – one to handle
the boat and one to help the victim. Don’t forget your PFDs. Be careful when helping
the victim that you don’t capsize the boat.
• Go (with support) – Swim out to the victim to rescue him. This should only be
attempted by someone who is trained in swimming and lifesaving. This can be
dangerous for the rescuer if he does not know the correct techniques. Take something
along which floats for the victim to hold on to. Avoid direct contact with the victim. This
is the rescue method of last resort.
