Lifesaving Resources (www.lifesaving.com) conducts an annual International Ice Rescue Instructor Academy every February, as well as an International Water Rescue Instructor Academy every September.  The purpose of these Academies is to train and authorize First Responders as either Ice Rescue or Water Rescue Instructors who can then return to their own departments to conduct internationally-standardized training programs developed and administered by Lifesaving Resources.  Lifesaving Resources has trained and authorized over 400 Instructors today located throughout the U.S., Canada, and other countries.
Besides its regular training programs, Gerry has conducted numerous educational webinars via Zoom since the COVID-19 pandemic, including a series of Drowning & Aquatic Injury Case Studies, as well as Principles in the Standard of Care for the Prevention, Recognition, and Management of Drowning and Aquatic Injuries.  He has also conducted numerous online Ice Rescue Awareness and Water Rescue Awareness training programs via Zoom.

Gerry analyzes every case in terms of what was done or should have been done to prevent the incident.  How quickly the incident, as well as its potential was recognized.  And, how rapidly and effectively the incident was managed.  Regardless of which side retains him, Gerry's opinions are always consistent with the principles advocated within Lifesaving Resources' training programs.
