A fun day on the water practicing effective safety and rescue techniques for sheltered water.
Service Description
Join us for the British Canoeing Awarding Body Paddle Sport Safety and Rescue Course - A relaxed and fun day on the water practicing effective safety and rescue techniques for the sheltered water environment. On this course you will be introduced to a wide range of techniques, tricks, and rescues to keep yourself and others safe in the sheltered water environment designed to support you in developing your skills and awareness without the pressure of an assessment. The course consists of 6 hours of content covering 6 modules. • Clothing and Equipment • Safety frameworks • Contact and Towing rescues • Self-rescues • Deep water rescues • Reflection and development We will be spending most of the day on and in the water, so you do need to be prepared to get wet whilst having fun, experimenting and problem-solving your way through different rescue scenarios. Remember this is a training course not an assessment so there’s no pressure and you can try out ideas and ask any question you may have. You will need to bring: • A suitable Craft (Kayak, Sit on top, Canoe or SUP) • Suitable clothing for spending the day in and out of the water we recommend a wetsuit, dry suit with lots of thermal layers. • Paddle • Helmet • Buoyancy Aid • Suitable footwear (trainers or wet shoes) • Layers of warm clothing • Lunch, snacks, drinks • Full Change of clothes If you own any safety equipment that you use in the sheltered or very sheltered water environment, bring this with you too, it’s always good to practice using your own gear. **All Participants must be over 18 unless accompanied by a legal guardian also taking part in the course**
