SULTAN SINGH DHILLON FOUNDATION

THIS FOUNDATION IS FOR THE PEOPLE WHO DIED
DUE TO LACK OF SECURITY. BY THIS FOUNDATION WE WANT TO AWARE SECURITY AMONG PEOPLE WHILE GOING TO ANY KIND OF BOATING OR SWIMMING IN WATER. AND TO MAKE PROPER ARRANGEMENTS FOR SECURITY AT THE PLACES WHERE THE SECURITY IS BEING IGNORED.
FOR THIS WE WILL START FROM BHAKRA GOVIND SAGAR LAKE WHERE SECURITY IS BEING IGNORED AND CAUSING DEATH'S.
WE WANT TO IMPLEMENT LIFE GUARDS AT THESE PLACES SO THAT THEY CAN SAVE LIFE IN ANY KIND OF EMERGENCY. FOR THAT WE ARE STARTING A FOUNDATION KNOWN AS SULTAN SINGH DHILLON FOUNDATION.
SO FEEL FREE TO HELP.
THE NUMBERS AD THE CONTACT DETAILS WILL BE SOON ON THIS BLOG...
WE WANT TO DONATE 500 LIFE JACKETS TO BOAT HOLDERS AND WANT PROPER LIFE GUARDS AT ALL SUCH PLACES WHERE PEOPLE NEED HELP...



The drowning chain provides a clear basis for preventing drowning which includes

==>education and information
==>provision of warnings
==>denial of access
==>supervision
==>training in survival skills
The lifeguard is able to provide all these elements to help prevent drownings (or other incidents) in their area of responsibility, and for this reason this should be the primary focus of a lifeguard's activities, as it is better to stop an incident occurring than trying to react once it has occurred. This means that the effectiveness of a lifeguard unit can be measured not the number or rapidity of rescues, or the skill with which they are executed, but the absence or reduction of drownings, accidents, and other medical emergencies.

Equipment used by lifeguards will vary depending on the location and specific conditions encountered, however certain equipment is relatively universal such as a whistle for attracting the attention of the public or other members of the team, a first aid kit and rescue aids.
Rescue aids
There is a hierarchy of rescue techniques to be used by lifeguards, in order, which minimises danger to the lifeguard and maximises the effectiveness of a rescue, and this dictates the types of rescue aids that a lifeguard should have available. Not all techniques or equipment will be available to all lifeguards, but all lifeguards should have some equipment to aid rescues. If talking to the victim establishes a problem, and they are unable to help themselves under instruction, the hierarchy runs as follows:
Reach - The first choice for any lifeguard should be to reach the victim from a position of safety, such as the side of a pool or the beach, using an aid such as a pole or rope. This allows them to stay safe throughout the rescue whilst keeping constant contact with the victim.
Throw - If it is not possible to reach a victim and maintain contact, then the next best method is to throw a floatation aid to them, such as a lifebuoy (also known as a perry buoy) and encourage them to use it to swim to safety. This is most appropriate in a swimming pool and has only limited application outdoors, such as throwing a ring from a pier.
Wade - If neither of those techniques is possible, then a lifeguard should consider wading to a victim, staying standing upright in the water. This will only work in shallow water, so has limited application, but keeps the lifeguard more stable and safer.
Row - Using a personal watercraft to reach the victim, which could include paddle craft such as a surf ski, kayak or row boat, a hand paddled craft such as a long surfboard or in modern times a jet ski or a inflatable boat
Swim with an aid - Only if none of these options are available should a lifeguard consider swimming to rescue a victim, as it creates additional danger for both lifeguard and victim. Aids suitable for this include the well known torpedo tube, which is a hard plastic float towed on a rope attached to the lifeguard, or the soft equivalent, the rescue or 'Peterson' tube, which is flexible and is generally preferred nowadays as it can be clipped around an unconscious or uncooperative victim. Other aids can include a rescue reel which is a rope attaching the lifeguard to a reel on the shore from where he can be pulled back by colleagues either with the victim or if the lifeguard gets in to difficulty.
Swim without an aid - Only as an absolute last resort should a lifeguard attempt a rescue with no equipment
In addition to these basic lifeguarding techniques, some units are trained in additional water rescue techniques such as scuba diving or in rescue techniques unrelated to water rescue such as abseiling for cliff rescue and will carry appropriate equipment for these.
