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!

“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.

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!
