Shallow Water Egress Trainer (SWET)

Survival Systems Limited’s (SSL’s) Shallow Water Egress Trainer (SWET) is an excellent familiarization device for students who may not be able to swim, are afraid of water and / or of being upside down inverted underwater. The SWET is also a superb device for procedural training and practice using an emergency breathing device prior to advancing to Underwater Egress Training (UET) in a Modular Egress Training Simulator (METS®).

Use of the SWET, in advance of the METS®, allows opportunity for students to begin thinking and practicing surface evacuation drills or underwater egress techniques that are critical steps and procedures in egressing emergency exits related to helicopters, fixed-wing aircraft, land rollover vehicles, and / or boats integral to SSL’s high-fidelity METS® training.

Very few bubbles are produced when using the SWET, so the student can be observed by an instructor underwater who can correct any challenges before a student progresses in practicing egress sequences. Since the SWET can be righted in a few seconds it allows for very quick student debriefing and training resumption.

The SWET is a very safe and inexpensive training device that provides many years of trouble-free service and can help students be more comfortable and successful in completing UET in a METS®.
