Level 4: Swiftwater Rescue Skills Course
Rocky Mountain Adventures, U.S. 287, Fort Collins, CO, USA
Our Swiftwater Rescue training classes teach you to better recognize and avoid common river hazards. You will learn self-rescue techniques and rescue techniques to use with other paddlers in distress. The classes emphasizes both personal safety and simple, commonly used rescue skills.
The Swiftwater Rescue classes covers basic and advanced rescue techniques for handling dangerous water situations, such as strainers, rescue vests, entrapments, and pins. To ensure you leave prepared to handle the wild water and stay safe, we utilize a combination of outdoor classroom instruction and scenario-based learning.
We role-play scenarios will provide you an opportunity to practice your skills both individually and within a team/group context. Swiftwater Rescue is designed for people working on or around rivers or running rivers privately, and is a “must have” for anyone wishing to engage in paddle sports activities.
