Candidates are required to complete three skills: a 200-yard swim, a two-minute water tread without using hands, and retrieving a 10-pound brick from the bottom of a diving well. These roles are seen as opportunities to build leadership, responsibility, and teamwork skills.

Applicants need to be at least 15 years old. Training is available at no cost, and sessions are currently in progress. Interested applicants can learn more about training dates, locations, and any updates by visiting the provided website or contacting the designated phone numbers and email.
