Smith Aquatic Safety Service (SASS) was created in 1981, upon Dr. Smith's retirement from the U.S. Coast Guard, to provide aquatic safety training. In 1981 Dr. Smith was first contacted to testify as an expert. Both aspects of SASS have grown markedly, with Dr. Smith being retained in hundreds of legal cases, while also training thousands of aquatic safety/rescue personnel. We look forward to assisting you.
