Lifesaving day 4

I think I have figured out the efficient way of towing people.

So far, my victims are all bigger than me. Their bodies have a tendency to sink if you don't pull them fast enough.

I had to figure out how to swim faster without using too much energy.

Today I discovered I could do this by kicking twice, followed by a hand sweep.

At the same time, I took care to swim gracefully so as not to splash too much water onto the victim's face.

We did all 3 different towing techniques over a distance of 75m each, so that made a total of 225m.

P.s: I think it's good that my victims are bigger than me. It's an opportunity to get used to having to work twice as hard as other people.
