How to save someone from drowning
Call for help when possible before doing anything else.
Encourage the person to stay calm and tell them that help is on the way.
Find a rescue aid. Find something long enough to help you and keep you safe, preferably something that will float.
Ask someone to help you or call 112.
Rescue: approach the person quickly but with caution. Keep the rescue aid between you and the person. Hand the rescue aid to the person if they are close to the beach or throw the rescue aid to them. Pull the person in, perform the necessary first aid measures and help them to follow-up treatment if necessary.
