Cold Water Boot Camp USA takes 8 hearty volunteers from across the America and puts them into cold water to learn what really happens to a victim immersed in cold water. See how quickly a victim becomes incapacitated and how the life jacket when properly worn, keeping the head out of the water and the airway clear, an immersed victim can survive to hypothermia.

The Volunteers of Cold Water Boot Camp, all boating and water safety professionals and specialists in their fields experience the three effects of cold-water immersion – cold shock, cold incapacitation, and even hypothermia. The Cold Water Boot Camp and Beyond Cold Water Boat Camp USA Rescue Recover, and Re-Warm, DVD’s provide you with valuable information about how to survive an accidental fall into cold water and Boot Campers face the indisputable fact – that the difference between becoming a statistic and a Survivor – is wearing a life jacket!

Thee Three “R’s” (Rescue, Recover, Re-Warm) reviews extraction techniques from a variety of vessels, triage and treatment options, including re-warming on site and stabilizing the victim for transport to a medical facility. The program is designed for anyone who might find themselves in a situation to rescue a hypothermic victim. The information provide in this DVD will better prepare boating and ater safety experts / educators to instruct about the risks of cold water immersion.

Both of these projects provided the information for writing a curriculum for Cold Water Immersion Survival and Rescue, Recover, Re-Warming techniques.
