Swimmer 7

Rookie Patrol lays the foundation of the Swim Patrol program. It includes four main components: stroke refinement, fitness, first aid, and lifesaving. Stroke refinement is focused on the front crawl, back crawl, and breaststroke. Fitness components include a 350m workout and 100m timed swim. Swimmers will learn about assessing conscious victims, contacting EMS, and treatment for bleeding. Rookie Patrol is rounded off with an introduction to lifesaving skills, including self-rescue techniques, victim recognition, and using throwing assists.
