Swiftwater Rescue 2.0 exists to advance the safety, efficiency, and operational capability of professional swiftwater rescuers through the implementation of Minimal Equipment Rescue Techniques (M.E.R.T.) and the Crossline Reach® system.

Our mission is to equip professional river guides, swiftwater rescue technicians, first responders, search and rescue teams, and public safety agencies with practical, field-proven methodologies that reduce rescue timelines, improve remote access and positioning, and enhance both personal and team safety in dynamic moving-water environments.

Through realistic scenario-based instruction, disciplined risk management, and innovative rope-based rescue systems, Swiftwater Rescue 2.0 develops rescuers who can rapidly establish technical rescue operations from shore, watercraft, and aerial platforms while minimizing equipment requirements and maximizing operational effectiveness.

We are committed to advancing the profession of swiftwater rescue by promoting continuous innovation, technical proficiency, sound judgment, and the responsible application of rescue techniques that improve outcomes for rescuers and the people they serve.
