Resuscitation & Rescue (R&R) training plans, built for your goal
R&R (Resuscitation and Rescue) combines an open-water rescue with simulated CPR under time pressure — it's as much about resuscitation proficiency and composure as it is about swim fitness. SportBlox builds your R&R training plan around your swim fitness, rescue technique and resuscitation skills.
Who it's for
First R&R season
A technique-first block introducing rescue carries and resuscitation drills without overloading a new competitor.
Faster, calmer rescue technique
Approach, carry and tow drills aimed at a quicker, more controlled rescue.
Resuscitation proficiency under time pressure
Repeated CPR technique practice so it holds up when you're swum-fatigued.
A week of resuscitation & rescue (r&r) training
Example: an R&R competitor building toward a club carnival. Your own plan is built around your event, level and schedule.
How SportBlox personalises it
Your goal & event date
Sessions build toward the specific goal and date you set, with a taper if you're racing or competing.
Your skill level
Volume and intensity scale to where you actually are, from Inexperienced to Professional.
Your stated weaknesses
Tell SportBlox about things like losing composure under time pressure, CPR technique breaking down when fatigued, pacing the swim leg so you're not gassed for the rescue and the plan weights sessions toward fixing them.
Your schedule
The plan fits the days and time you say you have — not an idealised training week.
Resuscitation & Rescue (R&R) training plan FAQ
Does the plan cover CPR and resuscitation technique?
Yes — resuscitation drills are a dedicated weekly session alongside the swim and rescue-carry work, though a qualified instructor should certify your actual CPR technique.
Do I need a training partner for rescue drills?
Rescue-carry and scenario sessions benefit from a partner, but SportBlox marks these separately from the solo swim and strength work that makes up most of the week.
How many sessions per week?
Typically 4–5, mixing swim fitness with rescue technique, resuscitation drills and a rest day.
Is this suitable for a first R&R season?
Yes, skill level scales swim volume and scenario complexity for newer competitors.
Will it build toward a specific carnival?
Add the date as an event and training periodises toward it, tapering in the final week.
