Yes but if they stop breathing then your first priority is to get them out of the water, MikeyM91 because you can't do CPR (compressions) in the water, only rescue breaths. To get them out quickly you'd have to lift out without spinal board.

first of all, she let go, second of all you move wih the victim, and thrid you get in the water down with them with your head above water

@glennRIR actually a log roll is when you they are on land and when they are vomiting you turn them on there side , that is a log roll

I was taught to lunge slowly with your legs starting off alongside the head. Make's it easier to clamp the arms at the end because the lunge brings you to the casualty's level.

you walk with the casualty you can trust me im a doctor.

[MikeyM91]

Unless the casualty is not breathing. If casualty is not breathing you don't care and just start CPR.

[lillaurajones]

you dont walk with the casualty. you have to support the head and wait for other lifeguard to come and take the head for support. then wait for collar to be applied.or spinal borad
