Safety Net

摘要

Coast Guard surface cutter rescue swimmers are cutter personnel who receive special lifesaving and water-safety training. 1. The cutter rescue program was begun in 1984 in conjunction with the Coast Guard's aviation survival technician/rescue swimmer program. 2. The service mandates that all cutters over 180 feet have at least one cutter rescue swimmer onboard. 3. Cutter rescue swimmers received the same training and certification, whether they are on a cutter that patrols near Alaska or in the Caribbean Sea.
