any water rescue cases threaten the lives of Mrescuers often due to their lack of knowledge /expertness, oftentimes rescuers have to lose their lives by their reckless rescue actions with only swimming skills without thinking about other factors. For this reason, basic water rescue skills and abilities should not only be possessed by those who work as a part of the search and rescue team but also civilians, so that when an emergency occurs the community will be able to minimize the casualties. Therefore, PTBMMKI prepares its members with training and knowledge about water rescue.
