White Water Safety & Rescue

River Tryweryn

Weekend of 1st & 2nd November

 

We have organised both a 'standard' white water safety and rescue course and an 'advanced' white water safety and rescue course at the Tryweryn.


Standard Course (£65 + accommodation)


The course deals with incidents associated with whitewater kayaking and canoeing with an emphasis on simple, low technology solutions to common river emergencies.
Course content includes:
Boat-based rescues
Aggressive & defensive swimming
Throwline use
Harness use
Cinches, stoppers & entrapments

As the course involves boat based rescues on, and swimming in, moving water, all candidates should be confident grade 2/3 paddlers and be prepared for a wet and practical course. Participants must be 16 or over.



Advanced Course (£75 + accommodation)

Course content includes:
Pins and entrapments
Steep bank access
Casualty transport and evacuation
Technical portage techniques


You must have completed a BCU WWSR & participants must be 18 or over.
