Public Safety School of the City of Cartagena (ESPAC) has organized a course on the lifeguards to be trained 32 volunteers of Civil Protection, to collaborate on the next beach rescue plan.
As explained sources of Civil Protection Service of the City of Cartagena, since its incorporation, the new volunteers begin a process of formation.
This lifeguard is one of several that have come out in recent months.
The course will be held between 29 April and 8 May, and consists of 50 hours.
The aim is to train new volunteers in civil protection in the various techniques of search and rescue in the aquatic environment.
To do so will be taught the definition of SOS aquatic functions and main tasks: work as a lifeguard, risk management, the basic components of a rescue and rescue equipment, inputs and outputs on a beach, swimming adapted; the search and rescue of conscious and unconscious victims, monitoring and scanning, and communications with ICAO code.
Volunteers from the municipal Civil Protection are integrated by annual remittances, usually in November, which opens a deadline for registration and submission of applications.
