Haryo, the Klaten SAR team, said that his team was very happy to be involved in rescue education in this water tourism area.
“We are very happy to be able to help UNS KKN students and Nganjat Village residents, especially about learning how to do water rescues in water tourism, one of which is the swimming pool,” said Haryo.
Haryo explained that this training activity is very important to be scheduled by every village or area that has water areas like Nganjat Village. Haryo also appreciated the enthusiasm of the youth organizations who actively asked questions and followed the activities to completion.
The rescue training activity by the UNS 149 KKN Group for the January-March 2022 period also received a positive response from residents.
“This work program is very useful, especially for the youth organizations in Nganjat Village and we fully support this activity. This is the first time this activity has been carried out and we appreciate the efforts of KKN students who are collaborating with SAR Klaten in carrying out this training,” said Tommy Azi, Head of the Nganjat Village Youth Organization.
Dozens of youths were taught techniques to save victims in the waters by using a swimming pool as a simulation site. The Klaten SAR team also brought many supporting equipment such as life jackets, life tubes, throwing ropes, and other types of buoys.
The training activities in the swimming pool started with swimming a distance of 200 meters, holding the breath in water for 10 minutes, floating for 10 minutes, and simulating victim rescue using various tools.
“The choice of this work program is none other than if something unexpected happens in the future, the swimming pool staff can help as taught,” said Gregorius Moses, a student from Group 149 KKN UNS.
