Advanced Water Rescue Manikin
The Advanced Water Rescue Manikin is manufactured by Ruth Lee Ltd and distributed exclusively in Ireland by Phoenix STS (Safety Equipment Ireland). As the authorised sole distributor for the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland, we provide full sales support, product guidance, and after-sales service.
An exciting collaboration between medical simulation experts Lifecast Body Simulation and rescue training manikin manufacturers Ruth Lee allows us to introduce a world-first for water rescue training - the Advanced Water Rescue Manikin.
We want to see a world where appropriate clinical care can be practised in an environment where it will take place for real. That means medical stabilisation at height, in confined spaces, and both “in” and “on” water.
Unlike anything else available to rescue teams, this manikin will allow you to accurately simulate the rescue of a drowning casualty from the water and then continue with essential medical care once it is pulled into your boat or onto dry land. This lets both rescuers and medical practitioners train more effectively and more quickly, under pressure and in hostile conditions.
The rugged Ruth Lee outer body aids buoyancy in all waters, whether open waters, pools, lakes and rivers. It will float in a drowned position for ultra-realistic rescues.
The torso of the manikin is an ultra-realistic male form, with all anatomical features you’d expect from a medical simulation manikin for airway management skills. It can be bagged, intubated and simulate a variety of drowning rescue and resuscitation scenarios - a world-first for water rescue training.
Please refer to the downloadable datasheet for full information on product specifications and care instructions.
Features
- A high-tech drowning torso from Lifecast for ultra-realistic medical skills training.
- Specialist technology replicates hydrostatic squeeze meaning water won’t enter the lung system. But you can choose to introduce water to the lung using a special three-way tap. This allows for both immersed and submerged drowning scenarios set up and lets you train for situations such as pulmonary oedema.
- The manikin is designed to mimic a drowned person in the water - it floats like an unconscious person but can also be weighted to sink or increase the realism of rescue.
- Pockets on arms, legs, chest and back to allow for additional divers weights or equivalent to be added (a maximum of 10kg can be added before the manikin will sink and we would advise the use of a buoyancy aid if you plan to add any more weight to the manikin).
- Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation - chest compression - 5-6cm with built-in recoil.
- Supplied with easy drain wellingtons and soft shoes to allow military uniforms to be dressed over the carcass.
- Anatomically correct weight distribution for the ‘feel’ of a real casualty.
- Dry weight 50kgs in total (with soft feet) or 52kgs (with wellington boots).
- External Storage Case- durable black hard case
- Internal Storage Case- soft case in blue or orange
- AWRM Torsofitted into the Ruth Lee Full Body Manikin
- PVC Wellies(pre-fitted)

The Advanced Water Rescue Manikin is a realistic, full-bodied training tool specifically designed to enhance water rescue skills in a variety of aquatic environments. Used by lifeguards, coast guards, emergency responders, and rescue divers, this manikin replicates the size, weight, and buoyancy of an unconscious human in water, providing a highly accurate and immersive training experience. Key Features: Realistic Buoyancy & Weight: Engineered to mimic the floating characteristics of an unconscious casualty, allowing for authentic practice in surface and submerged rescues. Durable Construction: Made from high-strength, water-resistant materials designed to endure repeated use in pools, lakes, rivers, and open water environments without degrading or absorbing water. Full-Body Design: Features jointed limbs and human-like proportions to simulate realistic body movement and handling during rescue scenarios. Quick-Drain Technology: Internal drainage system ensures rapid drying and prevents waterlogging, making it easy to handle and maintain between training sessions. Versatile Training Applications: Supports a range of water rescue techniques, including approach, tow, recovery, extraction, and in-water CPR practice. Applications: Lifeguard certification and re-certification training Emergency services and marine rescue drills Swiftwater and flood rescue simulations Military and tactical water operations Diving and submerged casualty retrieval exercises Benefits: Improves rescue speed, efficiency, and casualty handling skills Enhances trainee confidence in real-life water emergencies Enables realistic team-based practice under controlled conditions Reduces risk during live training by simulating casualtys safely The Advanced Water Rescue Manikin is an essential training asset for any water rescue program, combining durability, realism, and functionality to ensure the highest standards in aquatic emergency preparedness. https://youtu.be/ojC6ds54FEQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ExtComGmOMA
