The White Water Safety and Rescue Course is designed for paddlers operating in a moderate to advanced white water environment in either a canoe or kayak. If you are proposing to paddle whitewater regularly then this course is a must. The course is run over 2 days with day 1 based on the rapids at Symonds Yat, and day 2 on the River Usk. The course aims to improve individuals awareness of safety skills in the river environment, to teach personal survival skills, to teach throwline rescue techniques, to understand the need for structure in an emergency situation, to outline the basic rescue protocols that prioritise the safety of an individual above all others and to introduce and develop the ‘clean rope’ principal.
The course is great fun and there is plenty of time spent in the water.
