Abstract

There is no greater sacrifice than that made by a rescuer who throws it all on the line to rescue a drowning victim. Lifesavers are highly skilled at rescuing a drowning victim. However, many rescues are attempted by those with little or no training, and subsequently the rescuer tragically drowns in the rescue attempt.
