Tuesday afternoon Coast Guard employees from different stations around the country converged on Station Saginaw River.
It was the trainees themselves who had to take the plunge into the icy cold river and then be rescued by their classmates.
The Coast Guard does this so future rescuers know what it’s like from a potential victim’s standpoint.
