A training exercise for lifeguards to rescue a swimmer in distress in the sea off Moraira took place last Friday .
It took place at L’Ampolla beach and was organised by the council to test the rescue and emergency services .
A swimmer jumped off the rocks and simulated serious back injuries whilst a lifeguard went to the rescue assisted by two colleagues , bringing him ashore on a special stretcher .
Emergency procedures were put into action with calls to the police , ambulance and civil protection services .
The entire rescue exercise was completed in 11 minutes .
