Active Drowning Victim

A victim who struggles to breathe, cannot call for help, exhibits vertical body position, and has arm actions moving up and pressing down with no supporting kick.

Hip/shoulder Support

An in-line stabilization technique used in the water for a victim who is faceup to keep the face clear of the water.

Head Splint

An in-line stabilization technique used for a person facedown in the water, involving squeezing the victim's arms against their head to rotate them faceup.
