RESCUE MEDLEY (100 m) - Μικτή Διάσωση (100μ)
Event description
With a dive start on an acoustic signal, the competitor swims 50 m freestyle to turn, dive, and swim underwater to a submerged manikin located at 17.5 m from the turn wall. The competitor surfaces the manikin within the 5 m pick-up line, and then carries it the remaining distance to touch the finish wall/edge. Competitors may breathe during the turn, but not after their feet leave the turn wall/edge until they surface with the manikin. Competitors may push off the bottom when surfacing with the manikin.
