so one of the things that's being able to relax right once you're in that situation
right if you can't touch or be able to put yourself out that Curt you're gonna
have to swim and the easiest way is just with a nice side stroke and a couple of good kicks
know about energy conservation at this point right you said maybe a little bit on your side
yep not weighted laboring - right and we're being pulled out we're continuing to go just
a little bit now it's obviously starting to weaken and so at this point once we've
kind of gotten rid of that initial strength right I would just say swim parallel shore
right along the side right so if I know it's coming this way yeah I wanted to end
absolutely so if we tried to turn around right now and swim against that current all right you
know in a week rip current we might be able to make it right but you're still gonna get tired
and it's still not gonna be something that we want to do it's not fun it's work yeah
and we're right about on the edge of it right here and like I said it's a small one today
right but it's enough for a little kid right or anybody that isn't honest limb right I'm now at
a point where you know I'm overhead so it's it's a problem it's an issue right right yeah do it I
mean you know you don't want to be over your head right and not and lose strength right so again so
let's talk about it need to think so so we're swimming parallel right we're calm let's you
calm and we're doing some kind of floating yep like this you know and show you that help and
then the other thing is to swim parallel to the shore yes ma'am okay and again does it matter
how you swim or just that you do it this is do it and like I say get a good couple big kicks
it's not too much energy yeah when you try and take your arms up out of the water right number
one we put your arms up alright so then you're fighting that sure alright so keep your arms
you know underwater and keep your breaststroke way to do it practice these things in a pool a
non-stressful environment so that when the stress occurs it's a lot easier to do number one is calm
yep number two don't swim against it yep and number three try to find a way either floating
or a parallel to the coast to keep yourself you know from being pulled out further correct okay
and then obviously if you're in trouble you have to get help yeah um why does somebody rescue or
get drowned when they're trying to help people so a lot of times if a lay person is going out
to rescue they don't have any flotation right and and they're in a panic State so they're
going to drown me because it's the first thing they see and the first thing that they come up
to yeah and they're gonna grab on to me one of the things that I can say if you're ever
in that position right the last place that that victim wants to be is underwater so if they're
taking you under get underwater get some distance away from human the victim okay and call and talk
to the victim try to get talk to them I got you and I mean how many years have you been
doing this John this is my ninth year okay so how many rescues do you think you've done
there's several okay yeah all the big ones all the serious ones were already related gotcha I
mean share what your guys do but let's show one more time because exactly good John right there
everybody everybody even in the beach they look out
Wow this riff took us out and then actually put us in a little bit Wow
know what that we're actually kind of been a little bit of a circle yeah yeah
and then again the danger is you get out you get out too far no and that's
a cabbage head you're fine okay other hazards to worry about the beach today
once you're exhausted done you've got to make a plan that's right okay so let's say I'm exactly
yep I don't think I can swim parallel and get out yep so what's my next step I need
I need help yeah I guess so just I would put your hand up okay and then call for a call to
rescue okay that's a biggest thing you want the lifeguard see us right and you're gonna
see them coming down ain't coming together you're a lifeguard and stay calm stay calm keep staying
all right okay I feel like I can't make it in yeah I'm on okay right but I just need some
maybe embarrass the good swimmers rugby a problem pride is definitely
a big thing right ego um you know we you know people don't want to be rescued by
lifeguards it's embarrassing that they got into trouble and and yeah fine right now so
but you might get to a point where you no longer fine right and we want you to
be conservative talk to me what's gonna happen he's gonna hand me the buoy yep
and so let's say like she was really tired and having a tough time holding on to be with you
yeah exactly
