20 Rescue Swimmer Gift Ideas

Rescue Swimmer gift ideas took a bit of research and an awesome wife to find these things online, but here is a compilation of cool gifts for fellow Rescue Swimmers. Based on what we found I also designed a few things on my own based on experiences in the Navy and comical conversations with other Rescue Swimmers. Thanks to all for the feedback and insights, hope this list helps! If there is other cool stuff out there please let me know and I’ll add it to this post!

 

1. Rescue Swimmer Definition

A Rescue Swimmer is defined as someone who jumps without fear into the murky unknown to save others so you don’t have to. See also Poseidon, Neptune. This coffee cup pretty much comes it up. Click the image or HERE

2. Rescue Swimmer Auto Decal

This cool Rescue Swimmer metal decal can be put on your car, truck or motorcycle or in a shadow box. It is 3 in. x 3 in. And attached via automotive adhesive tape, simply peel and stick. 

 

3. Support Search and Rescue = Get Lost

This is available both in a T-Shirt or a Coffee Cup. The way we rescue guys stay in business is by having business. So encourage others to get lost, fall overboard or create a mess that we can come clean up! So Others May Live! Click the Image or HERE

Warning – No Rescue Swimmer. Swim at own risk or maybe die. Drowning is the 3rd leading cause of unintentional injury death worldwide, accounting for 7% of all injury-related deaths.

12. U.S. Navy Rescue Swimmer Chrome License Plate Frame

14. Helicopter Mode On

Forget airplane mode, be on helicopter mode. Some airplanes can turn on a dime, but all helicopters can stop, hover, and pick up that dime. Let’s face it, Helicopter mode on is better than airplane mode. Click image or HERE

18. So Others May Live

“So Others May Live” is the motto of the Rescue Swimmer. This comic is based on a Rescue Swimmer’s dream of conducting a heroic rescue and meeting his new wife. Life is about choices and sometimes the choices are a no-brainer even for this Navy Rescue Swimmer (thanks in part to the advice of his fellow Aircrewman). Perfect poster for your wall or office.

19. Rescue Swimmer Established 1971

The first Navy approved Rescue Swimmer training syllabus was approved in 1971. Prior to that there were many home grown unit trainings. In fact, in 1956 the Navy published an article about testing the rescue swimmer process and techniques. This t-shirt has the Navy Rescue Swimmer logo on the front, an American flag on left sleeve and a cool design recognizing the 50 years of history on the back. Click image or HERE

20. The Frontlines

Hard to believe but they published some of the comics I drew during my 20 year military career as both a Rescue Swimmer and later as a Warrant Officer pilot.  These humorous musings may make you laugh or offend others, but are the result of awesome mentors, great buddies and a deep appreciation for sarcastic humor. They officially released it on Veterans Day in either paperback or eBook for Kindle or iBooks. Here is a link to get a copy if interested.

Again, if anyone has other suggestions please let me know by responding to this blog or shooting me a note on contact us. I really appreciate it and hope you can find a cool Rescue Swimmer gift as well. Thank you!
