1.

You walk on the footpath along with the pool when you notice someone in distress who is
signaling for assistance. She is 6m away from you. There is only a rope you can retrieve
from the cottage you just passed by. 

First of all, I'm going to talk to the victim and make gestures to let the victim know she is
about to be rescued. This would make it easy for the victim to be conscious of my presence and
to focus on my actions. First, I will perform a throwing assist technique where I almost or
precisely throw one end of the rope to its position. I will pull her back to the security area as
soon as she gets hold of the chain. I'm going to look for the person if she needs more medical
treatment, I'm going to call the emergency medical team if she needs more medical assistance.

2. You walk along the river when you notice someone 8m away who is distressed and
signaling for help. You have found an old rope that was used on a paddle steamboat.
Reveal how you would rescue this person. 

The first step is to make it clear to the victim that I am here to save the man. This would
make it better for the person to be aware of my presence and my intention to save him. They're
him/her. Then, I'm going to perform a technique of throwing assist, where I'm going to throw
one end of the rope around or at his/her position exactly. I'm going to pull it back to the safety
spot as soon as he or she gets hold of the line. I'm going to look for the guy if he or she wants
further medical assistance. If he/she needs more, I will ask emergency medical services
personnel for medical assistance.

3. You were on the schools swimming pool to practice your butterfly stroke for an upcoming
competition and are the only one in the pool area when you noticed someone floating in
the pool's 8ft area. When you checked what it was, you were shocked to find a person
floating and unresponsive to your calls. 
First, I'm going to have a lifejacket fitted to make sure I can reach the guy. The site
is safe. I'm going to swim to his/her place then. As soon as I get to the spot, while
supporting the person's chin, I will wrap the person around my arm and use my legs and
other arms to paddle the victim to safety. I'm going to wait to see if he/she can be woken
up as soon as we get out of there, if I'm not going to call for an ambulance. Hospital
Services (EMS) personnel who perform CPR and other medical procedures.
