SUGGESTIONS ON HOW TO USE THIS PRODUCT
An ocean beach setting. You are faced with one or more distressed swimmer(s)
unexpectedly caught in a strong current that prevents their safe return. The first
scenario is conducted by lifeguards. The second scenario takes place after hours
by trained Public Safety personnel (not trained lifeguards).

TO READY THIS PRODUCT FOR LIFEGUARD'S USE
The Ocean Rescue Reel is pre-positioned in front, slightly to side of lifeguard's
stand so that responding lifeguard can grab reel's handle as he or she runs by.

SUGGESTED USE FOR LIFEGUARD RESPONSE
First Lifeguard on scene, we'll call the Buoy-Swimmer, responds with a rescue
flotation device (RFD). The untethered Buoy-Swimmer's job is to quickly get on
scene and stabilized the distressed swimmer(s) with buoyancy.

When backup is needed, a second Lifeguard called the Line-Swimmer responds.
This responder grabs the Ocean Rescue Reel, and within seconds may,
with free hand while running, pull the swimmer's harness from reel, up arm, over
head, and across chest. The Rescue Reel is now placed by waters edge at
closest point to victim(s). Water entry is made. Swimming to scene, the
Line-Swimmer "hooks up" with Buoy-Swimmer and assists in the control of
everyone being rescued.

A third lifeguard we'll call the Linesman, (line puller, or line tender) lifts reel, and
places the adjustable carry strap over shoulder or neck. With both hands free,
Linesman removes and maintains tether rope as necessary. After Line-Swimmer
and Buoy-Swimmer have "hooked up", Linesman, while facing incident, pulls line
hand-over-hand to shore, taking care to maintain constant visual contact, not run
backwards, pull to fast, or pull victims / rescuers over breaking waves.

SUGGESTIONS FOR AFTER HOURS RESPONSE BY
PUBLIC SAFETY PERSONNEL
Most Fire, Police, or EMS personnel are not required to maintain strong swimmer
certification. We strongly suggest that Public Safety rescue swimmer's outfit
includes (but is not limited to) swim fins and lifejackets. This buoy and line
equipment mentioned in this scenario supplements their lack of strong swimming
skills.

For distressed victim(s), a tethered, Public Safety Rescue Swimmer makes initial
response with the 36" Grasp Aid RFD fastened to the end of the land based Ocean
Rescue Reel or Ocean Rescue Bag. Upon approaching victim(s), rescuer extends
the buoyancy device to the victim(s) while maintaining a safe distance. Upon
stabilization, Rescue Swimmer and distressed swimmer(s) are cautiously hauled
back to shore.
