pool exercise 1:05:00 [3]
ARC session in morning as friend visiting later.
Session somewhat enlivened by the fact that i had to rescue a middle aged overweight non swimmer from drowning.
There were only 4 of us in the 8 lane 25m pool which is 1.2 at shallow end & 1.8m at deep end.
The guy i rescued had been hanging onto the lane rope with 2 noodles around him. By grabbing the lane rope, which moves, he lost control of the noodles which floated away so he was left yelling for help as the lane rope didnt support him. I was about 10m away running in the water ...didnt initially know what he was yelling about but swam his way.
Told him to grab a noodle which i gave him and hauled him backwards towards the shallow end, swimming initially.
Meanwhile i caught sight of the female life guard for the pool, who had been chatting to another lifeguard looking after the leisure pool, at the corner of both. On seeing the situation she took off her shoes and socks (not protocol for a rescue in my opinion) but I had got the guy back to shallow water by the time she had de-shoed.
Guy was very thankful - only his 2nd time in the pool - non swimmer and no idea what he should do...
