How should a front rescue be executed effectively?

The most effective way to execute a front rescue is to push the rescue tube firmly into the person's chest. This technique provides immediate support for the person in the water, allowing them to hold onto the tube while you maintain control over the rescue. By positioning the tube against their chest, you can help stabilize them and give them something to grip, which is essential during the rescue process. This approach also allows you to lead them safely to the edge of the pool or towards safety without losing control during the rescue.

Utilizing the rescue tube in this manner also serves to secure the victim and minimize the risk of further distress or panic, which could hinder the rescue. The focus is on providing buoyancy and support right from the moment of intervention, rather than performing other actions that may be less effective or riskier in a rescue situation.
