drowning rescue
Swimmer in peril
Drowning rescue is the act of saving someone from drowning—pulling them from water or preventing submersion.
The term covers everything from a lifeguard's intervention to a bystander diving in after a struggling swimmer: The coast guard performed a drowning rescue just offshore.
Training programs teach techniques for approaching victims without becoming one yourself.
