1 Day Intro to Rescue 2 course (private group)

The holder of this qualification has demonstrated the ability to manage rescue situations from a craft and gear retrieval in Grade 2 Whitewater. This course is a basic introduction to whitewater rescue. It covers signals, safe swimming and river crossing techniques, river features, self rescue and buddy rescues techniques, basic knots and strategies for how to unpin a craft. It is a great source of knowledge for recreational paddlers who want to understand the processes and best practices to keep themselves and others safe while on river, or a good prerequisite for those looking to hire whitewater craft
