Public Safety Institute and Submersible Systems (Spare Air®) are pleased to announce the launch of the first type-approved Swiftwater Breathing Apparatus (SWBA®) for first responders to water rescue incidents.
The Swiftwater Breathing Apparatus features a compact and lightweight design, making it easy to carry and deploy in fast-moving water situations. Equipped with a HEED3 tank as the standard air source, divers can rely on its proven reliability and performance in challenging environments. Whether assisting in water rescues or navigating turbulent rivers, the Swiftwater Breathing Apparatus offers peace of mind and safety to rescue professionals.
It is designed to be mounted on the rescuer’s Personal Floatation Device (lifejacket), allowing for hands-free operation and maximum mobility. By always ensuring it is used in conjunction with a PFD, this prevents diving, clearly distinguishing it from traditional self-contained underwater breathing apparatus (SCUBA) operations.
