Super Lifesaver (200m)
Υπερδιασώστης (200μ)
Event description
With a dive start on an acoustic signal, the competitor swims 75 m freestyle and then dives to recover a submerged manikin. The competitor surfaces the manikin within the 5 m pick-up zone and carries it to the turn wall/edge. After touching the wall/edge, the competitor releases the manikin. In the water, the competitor puts on fins and rescue tube and swims 50 m freestyle. After touching the wall/edge, and within the 10 m pick-up zone, the competitor fixes the rescue tube correctly around a manikin and tows it to the finish. The event is complete when the competitor touches the finish wall/edge of the pool.
