| Cold Water Boot Camp and Beyond
Cold Water Boot Camp USA educate the general public and first
responders with preventative measures and rescue and recover
and re-warm techniques should you be a victim, or find yourself
in a position to rescue a cold water immersed victim. |

The Boot Campers of Cold
Water Boot Camp USA dive in and experience the three effects
of cold-water immersion – cold shock, cold incapacitation, and
even hypothermia. The project provides valuable information
of how to survive an accidental fall into cold water. The demonstration
forces the Boot Campers to face the indisputable fact – that
the difference between becoming a statistic and a survivor –
is wearing a life jacket! |
