Description
This activity is closed to further registration.
Rookie swimmers swim front and back crawl for 100 m and continue developing breaststroke. Swimmers develop individual fitness to meet a timed 100m swim and 350m workout. Water proficiency skills include swimming with clothes, ready position, and feet- first/head-first surface dives. Demonstrating the ability to conduct a primary assessment and calling EMS are included as first aid skills. Victim recognition and throwing assists are other key elements of the program. Participants are evaluated based on performance criteria and progress to Swimmer 8 - Ranger Patrol once all criteria have been successfully completed.
Ranger Patrol enhances capability in the water including stride entries and underwater, forward and backwards somersaults. Swimmers learn lifesaving sport skills with a lifesaving stroke medley, timed object support and a non-contact rescue with a buoyant aid. Eggbeater kick and increased fitness levels are developed to meet a 200 m timed swim. First aid focuses on unconscious victims and obstructed airway procedures.
Star Patrol challenges swimmers with a 300 m timed swim, 600m workout and a 25m object carry. Strokes are continued to be refined. Lifesaving skills include use of rescue aids, defense methods, victim removes and supporting a victim in shallow water. First aid focuses on treatment of bone or joint injuries and respiratory emergencies. Once complete, swimmers register into Bronze Star.
