An aquatic doll is used to test and train rescue and life saving skills. The doll has a torso and has arms, legs, and a head all connected to the torso. The torso, arms, and legs are all substantially hollow and define a plurality of holes for filling the doll with water. A pair of feet are weighted and attached to the legs for breaking the surface of the water and causing the legs to sink initially when the doll is positioned on the water. Preferably, the head can be turned from side to side for a rescuer to simulate a water clearing technique during a rescue. In addition, the head can be tilted and has a moveable jaw for a rescuer to simulate a jaw thrust method in CPR. Finally, a spring and clicker mechanism is positioned in the hollow of the torso for simulating chest compression techniques of CPR.
