Pia Carry

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Pia Carry was created for use exclusively by lifeguards by Frank Pia. It requires a strong legs-only kick that is used to support the non-drowning victim as far out of the water as possible, to stop the instinctive drowning response. It is standard procedure for most lifeguard training. Frank Pia is a recognized authority on lifeguarding and drowning.
