RLSS 8th Edition NPLQ -- this short video clip demonstrates how to perform a defensive block using a torpedo buoy/rescue tube. If a swimmer tries to grasp you during a rescue, use the torpedo buoy to block the casualty from grabbing hold of you directly. When entering a swimming pool to perform a rescue lifeguards should always use a rescue tube if possible. This versatile piece of lifeguard rescue equipment can be used as a flotation aid for swimmers in difficulty and if required can be used to protect the lifeguard from danger.
