Training usually involves swimming, being in the water, climbing and/or other physical exertion. It is therefore important that the participant is in good health. In practice, a normally fit participant will be able to cope with the training.
If you are in doubt about whether your health is good enough to participate in the course, check with your doctor. You must not attend the course under the influence of alcohol or other intoxicating substances. If you are or suspect that you are pregnant, please discuss your pregnancy with your doctor. For more information on the content and requirements of the course, please contact the training planner.
The participant assesses his/her own health condition in the participation form to be filled in before the course. Meriturva staff has the right to refuse a person's participation in the training due to health or other reasons.
There are two changing rooms with lockable lockers for the use of trainees. Bring your own toiletries and towel! If you need more privacy than usual or need a gender-neutral changing room, please contact us before arriving.
The Meriturva provides you with a cotton coverall, rubber boots, a lifejacket and a helmet. For your own equipment, you will need a swimsuit or coverall and socks with slippers. Please note that these will get wet during the exercise.
On HUET courses, Meriturva will provide you with a dry suit, warm mid-layer suit and helmet, but we recommend you use your own dry suit. As your own equipment, warm underwear (e.g. a layer) and socks are sufficient. Please note that these will get wet during the exercise.
During the boat courses, Meriturva will provide you with the necessary protective clothing for outdoor training. Please ensure that you have the appropriate weather clothing under your protective clothing.

For GWO training, Meriturva will provide you with the necessary training clothing, safety and fall protection equipment, as well as dry suits and life jackets for water exercises.

GWO training courses also offer the possibility to wear personal protective equipment, fall protection equipment, dry suits and life jackets.
Before the training, remove all jewellery and other objects that could come loose and fall into the water or get caught on the equipment. Valuables should be left at home as Meriturva is not responsible for items lost in lockers or other areas. With the instructor's permission, you may use a telephone or take photographs, but the equipment is at your own risk.
Students can dine at the Meriturva Rescue Training Unit's own restaurant, Merituule. All special dietary requirements must be notified in advance. The Rescue Training Unit has a course hotel, where you can find more information from the accommodation page.
