| Best Idea for Lifesaving Social Theme? | Under the sea creature! |
| Describe a lifesaving skill | Chain of Survival:
If you find a casualty in the water, you first need to shout at them to get their attention. You then signal to them to try and swim in towards you to dry land. You can then try to reach out to them. If this still doesn’t work, then you can try to throw a buoyancy aid to them for support. If this fails also, then you can wade out to them if the water is shallow. Better yet, if you have a handy boat nearby, you can row out to them. If none of this works, then you can try to swim with an aid. If all else fails, you can try and swim and tow. |
OFFICER WITHOUT PORTFOLIO - MARTIN MAY
Martin, an ‘oldie but goodie’, has 7 (we think, there might be more, it’s hard to keep track) years of university lifesaving under is belt and has had already held the club positions of training coordinator, club captain and secretary. After many years of active involvement, Martin has been nominated for a non-elected position, providing guidance to the committee when they need help. He has been a steadfast and successful member of the A team for the last four years, and was also active on the community and education side, having run various community courses teaching life saving skills. Martin is now a fifth year medical student at UCL, and he has a very busy schedule, but nonetheless still manages to swim laps every morning 9sometimes..). This year, we can expect more typically Martin behaviour, including fast swimming, punctuality, sarcastic wit, and copious fluid consumption at lifesaving socials. He is a valued member of the club and we hope to see a lot of him this year (but we are willing to forgive him for absences).
OFFICER WITHOUT PORTFOLIO - TARA LEE
|
Tara is studying medicine, but she doesn't consider lifesaving as another lecture - and it's not the only sport she's fond of. Whatever the part of lifesaving we are training, Tara will stun you by her skills. As she is the training coordinator for this year, you will see her very often. Enthusiastic, she will guide you in your lifesaving experience with perkiness and you will end up as an athlete! | ![]() |

| Describe a lifesaving skill | Situations that can cause a spinal injury and how to treat:
There are various situations which cause a spinal injury. Perhaps the most obvious would be sustaining a serious shock (like a car accident). Another possible reason would be falling of substantial height (meaning around one and half time your size), but it can also occur in sports accidents. Its management at our first responder level is pretty simple; we will try not to move anything and keep the spinal cord still and straight. If there is a displacement (moving the victim away, turning him on the side, …) the person can suffer paralysis. We actually hold the head. One hand goes under the neck and the other one is placed on the shoulder so that the head can lean on your forearm. You can use something like a pillow to make sure that the spinal core is and stays straight. Don't move the victim unless forced to (because of cardiac arrest for instance). |
