River Safety & Rescue
Our River Safety & Rescue courses offer a fun opportunity to learn many valuable skills. These courses focus on recognition and avoidance of common river hazards, execution of self-rescue techniques, and rescues of paddlers in distress. Emphasis is placed both on personal safety, and commonly used skills. Fundamental techniques for dealing with hazards that carry greater risks for both victim and rescuer, such as entrapments and pins, are also taught. This course is aimed at boaters interested in learning fundamental river rescue skills.
