He mentioned that working as a lifeguard has been comforting, especially on the day he managed to get three women out of the water.

“Once I was conducting surveillance aboard a Jet Sky, when I observed that three people were being pulled out to sea,” he said.

It was there when the radio that he brought with him corroborated the drowning report and went to get the women out of the sea, two of them were minors and one was an adult.

Upon arrival, he saw that one of the girls was already submerged, so he immediately threw himself into the water and as he could, he took her out and put her on the jet ski, then he raised the mother and the other girl, later he took them ashore in where the emergency bodies were already waiting for her.

Upon reaching land, the unconscious minor was given first aid and after returning she was taken to a hospital for recovery.

He says that the three women lived and that gives him a lot of comfort.

He regretted that sometimes people do not even thank them as aquatic elements, while others are very grateful to the Aquatic Rescue Squad.
