Starting a Swiftwater Rescue Team

By Phil Turnbull, Rescue 3 International

Perched atop the brown Suburban sits little Emily, clutching the roof rack and calling for help while deafening water pounds past the semi-submerged car. How prepared are you to deal with this situation?

our approach

We believe training should be tailored to the specific needs of each client. While we teach all the skills and knowledge necessary for certification, we approach a course for emergency personnel in an entirely different manner than one for resource managers or outdoor guides.
