A repeated measures design was used, with assessments conducted before (PRE) and after course completion (POST). The following CMJ variables were analyzed: jump height, push-off force, landing force, maximum concentric power, maximum speed, and take-off velocity. Functional performance in the water was assessed using tests in the 50m, freestyle, front crawl, breaststroke, and backstroke.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>After completing the course, significant improvements were observed in selected CMJ parameters, including jump height (+8.47%; p = 0.008), rebound force (+23.42%; p = 0.006), maximum concentric power (+8.72%; p = 0.047), maximum velocity (+2.81%; p = 0.017), and rebound speed (+3.77%; p = 0.022). In the water rescue trials, significant reductions in completion times were observed for the front crawl (-4.23%; p = 0.013), 50m kick (-5.48%; p &lt; 0.001), two-hand pull (-7.30%; p = 0.004), one-handed chin pull (-5.40%; p &lt; 0.001), and chest pull (-3.89%; p = 0.006).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Participation in a water rescue course significantly improves both lower limb strength and functional performance in the water.
