How do I use a Shepards hook and other safety devices?
A Shepard’s hook is used while you are standing on the deck of the pool extending the hook around the victim so you can pull the person to the side of the pool. Then you are able to pull them out of the water. This prevents anyone from entering the water and taking the chance of becoming a victim themselves. A life preserver can also be used if the person is conscious, but in trouble in the water. You throw the preserver to the person to grab while you hold onto the attached rope, then you can pull the person to safety.
