SALVAGE FOR ALL of Nikolaos K. Giovanidis, Director of Greek Lifeguard Academy . When a person is in danger of drowning, his psychological situation is concrete and consequently his reactions are foreseeable for the educated Lifesaver. For all the other it is an emergency which is created front in their eyes perhaps and for the first time in their life and automatically they panic with result not helping for rescue, instead they increase the danger. Naturally an individual can be drowned for a lot of reasons: it can be that he/she doesn't know how to swim or his swimming abilities don't allow him/her to face even a simple cramp, or the fact that he/she has eaten, or being drunk, etc. The brain of the victim, depending on the case, stops thinking logical, so he panics and it accelerates drowning'. Because in deed it does not step somewhere regularly, specifically if it does not know how to swim, it feels that the entire universe sucks him under. This makes him have unverifiable behavior and it will begin to use anything that floats- living or inanimate - found in front of him, without discriminations. He will grasp anything and he will press it under, so that he can balance, support him self and breathe. And if this "'anything' 'is an object, it has well. If it is however a person and in particular without salvage knowledge, things take other turn. Because then, it is very easy for the terms to be reversed and both play also first role in the tragedy. And all these happen hardly few centimeters under the surface of the water. Concretely we report from the statistics drowning that are recorded each year, that many times we have double and triple drawings' from the volunteers "lifesavers" that hurries without knowing or possess salvage knowledge in order to save some victim from an imminent drowning. With these simple words we tried to draw the profile of a drowning in the sea, or in a swimming-pool, or anywhere that water exists. We hope you were convinced that the arbitrary movements in some proportional incident can happen unforeseen in front of you, and your spontaneous eagerness for help, is precisely that what you should not make. The instructors of Greek Lifeguard Academy - E.N.AK., propose to you eight alternative ways of rescue that do not require knowing how to swim or having Salvage knowledge - but can very well help you save a life. However, let's see what you can make with simple, but right energies.
