The United States Coast Guard (USCG) rescue swimmers program, officially known as Aviation Survival Technician (AST), was established in the mid-1980s to enhance the Coast Guard's search and rescue capabilities. Rescue swimmers undergo rigorous training to perform rescues in challenging environments, including rough seas and adverse weather conditions. Their duties involve deploying from helicopters to save individuals in distress, providing emergency medical care, and ensuring the safety of both survivors and crew during rescue operations.
