The blazing heat met with the irony of the freezing cold waters proved to be no mean feat as around 70 participants across the 18 barangays of Mariveles, Bataan, joined the Water Search and Rescue (WASAR) Training last November 20 to 24, 2023.

Sponsored by GNPower Dinginin Ltd. Co. (GNPD), the five-day training consisted of various training sessions, which started with basic first aid techniques such as hands-only CPR, bandaging, and knot tying. It was then followed by a lecture on water safety, which included a demo and practical session on rescue & survival techniques, breathing control, water entry, and swimming techniques.

The following days of the training involved several demo and practical sessions, such as a physical fitness test, rope rescue techniques, and breath-holding proficiency swimming. The trainees were also enrolled in tougher demos, which included simulation exams and exercises in rubber boat handling.
