Basic Water Rescuer – Foundations (BWR – F)
The Basic Water Rescuer – Foundation course is designed for personnel who may be deployed to a basic (still) water environment, such as lakes, ponds and canals, where they may be required to undertake simple rescues using basic equipment. For using more equipment-intensive elements, including rescue platforms, sleds and boards, students should take the Basic Water Rescuer (BWR) course.
