Lt. Mike Leonard, bottom right, of the New London Fire Department acts as the victim and is rescued by a new recruit, lower left, with the help of a rescue sling and pulled ashore by the other new recruits during cold water rescue training off Waterfront Park in New London Tuesday, Dec. 18, 2018. The training simulated a person that has fallen in the water and still on the surface and taught the recruits, in their second week of their three-week indoctrination, about the cold water suits and rescue techniques using a rescue sling or rescue ring.
