They are essentially based on very real scenarios that are very applicable to open waters and the pool (close water) provides a very good test bed for training these scenarios.
Manikin carry
- Simulate short distance sprinting of 25m surface dive to recover victim from underwater and tow for another 25m to complete the event.
Rescue medley
- simulates a swim out to a victim 50m away, dive under for a underwater search (17.5m) say the water us murky, so you got to hold breath and search for your victim and towing for 32.5m back.
100m manikin carry with fins
- pretty similar to the rescue medley above, just that with fins swim out 50m, pick up a submerged victim underwater and tow 100m back to shore.
Line throw
- The perfect skill of throwing a rope to a conscious victim and pulling him back to shore.
4x25 manikin relay
- Not so much of having a key relation to lifesaving technique, but is more on communication and teamwork amongst the 4 competitors to pass the manikin to one another.
4x50 medley relay
- Not so much of having a key relation to lifesaving technique, but is more on communication and teamwork amongst the last 2 competitors
Superlifesaver
- Combo of manikin carry and 100m tow with tube and fins.
100m Tow with tube and fins
- With the aid of both a lifesaving torpedo tube and fins, fin 50m, clip a conscious aka floating victim and swim back 50m.
