When should the 'Throw' tactic be utilized during a rescue?

The 'Throw' tactic is most effectively utilized in scenarios where the victim is out of reach by hand. This technique is designed for situations where the rescuer is unable to physically get close enough to the victim without putting themselves in danger or when the distance is simply too great. The idea behind using this tactic is to provide a means of rescue that allows the rescuer to assist the victim while maintaining a safe distance, often by employing a flotation device or a line that can be thrown to the individual in distress.

In contrast, calm water conditions, personal swimming skills, or immediate danger to the rescuer are not the main considerations for selecting the 'Throw' tactic; rather, it's the inability to reach the victim directly that dictates its use. Thus, recognizing the context of distance is crucial in deciding when to implement this rescue technique effectively.
