Life Saving
Life Saving is a sport practised in the pool and on the beach and in the ocean. The sport consists of a series of competition disciplines intended to develop and demonstrate lifesaving skills, fitness and motivation, replicating common rescue techniques, including manikin (i.e. victim) ‘carry’ with or without fins, manikin tow using a rescue tube, the rescue medley, a combination of freestyle, dive and swim underwater to a manikin and a ‘super lifesaver’ combining the carry and tow disciplines in the same competition.
