Rescue swimmers typically jump from heights ranging from 30 to 60 feet (approximately 9 to 18 meters) when performing water rescues from helicopters or boats. The exact height can vary based on the specific rescue scenario, environmental conditions, and safety protocols. It's essential for swimmers to be trained in techniques to minimize injury upon impact with the water.

If a pool was 3 m deep should a nonswimmer jump in?

There's two parts to this: 1) Only "jump in" a pool that is approved for diving, and only where it's deep enough that you won't be injured (by hitting the pool bottom or side). 2) If there's a shallow end, there no reason a non-swimmer couldn't wade into the pool under supervision (by a swimmer who can rescue them if they get into trouble). I wouldn't recommend a non-swimmer "jump in" the deep end of a pool even with supervision.

Why should a rescue swimmer avoid contact with the victim?

A rescue swimmer should avoid direct contact with the victim to prevent both the swimmer and the victim from becoming entangled or overwhelmed, which can increase the risk of drowning. Additionally, a panicked victim may inadvertently harm the rescuer during the rescue attempt. Maintaining a safe distance allows the rescuer to assess the situation and provide assistance more effectively, using techniques like throw bags or flotation devices to facilitate the rescue without direct contact.
