 The Ocean City Patrol, we have a three-part mission. The first part's education, the second is prevention, and third is intervention, actually making the rescuer doing the emergency medical care. Before graduating and being allowed to sit atop a lifeguard stand, these recruits had to show their skills. For several of them, I became the victim. In this case, they're practicing how to get someone out of the water if they have a potential neck or back injury.
