Swiftwater Rescue Technician® Unit 1 (SRT1)

The Swiftwater Rescue Technician 1 has been revised to meet the

requirements of the NFPA 1670 Standard for Technical Rescue in the

areas of water and rope. It's name has been modified

slightly to (SRT1) as it is the first of two units needed for

personnel to be considered technician level for water and rope

This class is an intensive three-day, 30-hour class. It has one day

of classroom instruction followed by two days developing and

practicing water rescue skills. The initial emphasis is on

developing self-rescue skills. Other objectives include an in-depth

look at such subjects as: understanding water dynamics, handling

hazards and obstacles, using basic rescue equipment, setting up

technical rope systems, controlling in-water contact rescues, and

much more.

Swiftwater Rescue Technician Advanced® (SRTA)

is the second of two units needed for personnel wanting to meet the

requirements of the NFPA 1670 Standard at the technician level for

water and rope (and also provides the competencies required by NFPA

1006). It integrates techniques learned in SRT1, as well as

Incident Command level controls, advanced river/flood situations and

high angle rope techniques. It has four to six hours of classroom

presentation the first day followed by three and one-half days of

hands-on skill development, demonstrations and a mock night river

rescue scenario for a total of 33 hours.
