German term or phrase: Rettungseinsatz
Auf dem Programm stand der übliche Dreikampf mit Disziplinen aus dem Bereich Rettungsschwimmen. Beim Hindernisschwimmen mussten 70 cm tiefe Absperrungen untertaucht werden. Beim "Retten einer Puppe" wurde eine mit Wasser gefüllte Rettungspuppe angeschwommen und abgeschleppt. Der Wettkampf "Retten einer Puppe mit Flossen" simulierte den ***Rettungseinsatz*** über eine längere Strecke und zeigte wie leistungsfähig die Rettungsschwimmer mit Flossen sind.

neutral  Francis Lee (X): "operation" implies (here, not in a Bond fillm) a team, but surely this is about an individual?
1 hr
  -> Thanks. It could be the case.
neutral  Ramon Somoza: I gree with Francis that "operation" is usually associated to a rescue effort performed by a team, which does not seem to be the case here, unless this is a team competition...

rescue procedure


Explanation:
as I understand it, this is talking about a single person's mode of swimming in a rescue situation, while 'effort' and 'operation' both sound like collective activities to my ears
