Swim Patrol's three levels - Rookie, Ranger, and Star - continue to develop participants' swim strokes and provide the skill foundation that prepares them for success in the Society's Bronze medal awards. Candidates will learn the important skills of Water Proficiency, Recognition & Rescue and First Aid.
