Swiftwater Rescue/Water Rescue Technician Courses
Lifesaving Resources (lifesaving.com) conducts an 8-hour Water Rescue Technician (WRT) Course for Public Safety and Rescue personnel. This course is designed to provide First Responders with the skills and knowledge required to safely and effectively respond to incidents in, on and around static water, including lakes, ponds, swimming pools, etc. We also conduct a 16-hour Swiftwater Rescue Technician (SRT) Course that includes the first 8-hours of the WRT Course, in addition to an additional 2-hour classroom session, and a 6-hour practical session conducted in a moving water environment.
These curriculums meet/exceed NFPA 1670 Standard for Technical Rescue. And, we also conduct an annual WATER RESCUE TRAIN-THE-TRAINER ACADEMY for the purpose of training representatives of Public Safety and Rescue agencies as Water Rescue Instructors who are then authorized to conduct Water Rescue Awareness, Operations, and Technician level courses, as well as Swiftwater Rescue Technician Courses.
