Swiftwater 1

 
This course focuses on self-rescue skills so that you can look after yourself when out on the water and is great for those just entering the whitewater arena or those who have already dipped a paddle and found the water to their liking!

This one-day course offers a combination of theoretical and practical skill development with certification provided by the Lifesaving Society.

Prerequisites: Standard First Aid (required for certification to be issued); ability to swim 50m head up wearing a PFD and helmet.



 Just A Reminder!
Be sure to check our website for links to current conditions both locally and throughout B.C and Alberta.


 Customize IT!
Contact us for details about how to arrange a course for your private group. Offering a specialized wilderness first aid course for your office, team or youth group would be a valuable team-building opportunity!
