PERTH Rescue Tube
Description
Yellow Rescue Tube - for the Bronze Medallion on duty.
A rescue tube is required for any SU water activities in calm or open waters.
A vital, if not the most vital, piece of kit for a lifesaver is their trusty Rescue Tube – slung over the body.
The rescue tube is made of vinyl and is buoyant enough to support the full weight of a rescuer and several victims.
The tube has a long leash that the lifeguard wears around the body to tow the tube along while swimming a long distance. SU's rescue tubes are yellow and is connected to a long rope.
