If your agency has rescue-craft and swim fins, your people deserve this training (If you work with helicopters, we've got that covered too). This is a great course for fire rescue teams, water SAR teams, dive teams, water rescue teams and even a swiftwater team looking to advance into a different skillset. Swiftwater rescue techniques are great for what they are designed for, but once you throw a rescue-craft and open water into the equation, they don’t prepare rescue personnel for what they will face. The dynamic of deploying a Rescue Swimmer from a small craft, with or without tending line, and recovering the swimmer and survivor safely back to the rescue-craft is a discipline entirely unto itself. Our Maritime Rescue Swimmer courses will give rescue-techs, crew members, and boat coxswains the training they will need to complete maritime rescues successfully, and get all equipment and personnel back safely. While swiftwater rescue has become a well established discipline, open-water rescue swimmer operationss remain an elusive subject taught by few, and understood by even fewer. Our instructors have the rare, real-world experience to give your agency what they need to mitigate the vast risk involved with such a discipline.
