Course Summary:
The White Water Safety and Rescue Training course is designed for all paddlers operating in a moderate to advanced white water environment in either kayak or canoe. In addition, the training is required for those seeking their 4 Star Leader (white water or open canoe) Award.

The objective is to provide the underpinning knowledge and teach simple and safe practical skills that can be applied appropriately. By its nature the course is very ‘hands on’ and should not usually contain much classroom work. Any theory should be short riverside sessions, the duration of which will be naturally limited.

A variety of skills will be introduced and developed over the weekend, including:

Paddlers awareness of safety skills in the river environment
Throw line rescue techniques including the ‘clean rope principle’
Safe paddling and boat handling techniques
Basic rescue protocols and dealing with an incident
Swimming skills
Equipment retrieval
These sessions will be reviewed and reinforced in the evening sessions, giving you the opportunity to learn from the staff and other course participants alike.

Who is the course for?
This is an essential course for all open boat and kayak paddlers who intending to progress to safe, independent self-led river trips. The sessions covered over the course of this practical weekend will help you to make informed decisions afloat, anticipate problems and solve them when they arise.

By the end of the weekend you will be better equipped and have the confident to enjoy your river adventures.

The White Water Safety and Rescue course is a pre-requisite for those wishing to attend the 4 Star Leader Training Inland or Canoe.
