ABOUT SILVER MEDALLION AQUATIC RESCUE
SMAR is an award that provides participants with the skills and knowledge to participate in search and rescue operations. Once completed members will gain skills and knowledge enabling them to:
Contribute to preparation activities for search and rescue operations
Perform search and rescue of a missing person
Demonstrate recovery and stand down procedures
Besides being a valuable assist at your club, gaining this award also opens the door for other SLSSA opportunities. It is a core award to hold if you are looking to become a member of the Emergency Operations Group (EOG) who manage and fulfil Jet boats, Jet Skis, Helicopter and Duty Officer roles.
