Additionally, there are amphibious chairs for the use of those with disabilities and, a designated lifeguard who can accompany anyone requesting the service safely in and out of the water.<br \/>\nSpread over seven of the town\u00b4s beaches, the rescue units, equipped with defibrillators, oxygen, spinal boards and first aid kits, give all the necessary support for these professionals to carry out their work. However, above all, it is vitally important that beach goers pay attention to the instructions given by the lifeguards and, respect the green (safe), yellow(caution) and red (danger \u2013 no swimming) flags flying daily.<br \/>\nOf all the services Ebone provide, the \u201cSocorristas Junior\u201d or \u201cJunior Lifeguards\u201d events draw most attention.  They take place every Saturday for the youngsters on the town\u2019s different beaches in the high season, although everyone is actively encouraged to join in. The sessions aim to provide a fun, educational opportunity for children to see at first hand the lifeguard\u2019s work as well as instilling the dangers incurred when failing to observe beach rules.  It is a great opportunity for them to learn to how perform basic resuscitation, make an emergency 112 call and carry out the Heimlich manoeuvre as well as see all the life-saving equipment put into action in cases of accident and rescue on the beach and in the water.<br \/>\nRescue drills are also carried out on the beaches, assisted by willing \u00b4victims\u2019, in order to raise awareness of the importance of the first action taken in the case of an accident, while serving as a re-enforcement to the first responders on the protocols to follow in an emergency.<br \/>\nThe next \u201cSocorristas Junior\u201d will take place on Saturday at 12.30 p.m. on the beach by the Pueblo Indalo, but in the meantime, everyone can feel safer knowing that these lifeguard professionals are standing by on Moj\u00e1car\u2019s beaches, making sure everyone has a well-deserved, safe time in the sun.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To ensure beach safety on Moj\u00e1car\u2019s beautiful award winning Blue Flag beaches that also come with their SICTED quality guarantee, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":9929,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"rs_blank_template":"","rs_page_bg_color":"","slide_template_v7":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[34,32,2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9949","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-actualidad-en","category-news","category-uncategorized"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mojacar.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9949","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mojacar.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mojacar.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mojacar.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mojacar.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9949"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.mojacar.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9949\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mojacar.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9929"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mojacar.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9949"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mojacar.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9949"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mojacar.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9949"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
