Description

A rescue tube, also called a Peterson tube, is a piece of lifesaving equipment used in water rescue. It is a vinyl flotation device that can help support the victim's and rescuer's weight to make a rescue easier. It is an essential part of the equipment that must be carried by lifeguards. It further can act as a mark of authority, identifying an individual as a lifeguard.
