I have some spaces on a Paddlesport Safety & Rescue course on 8th Feb. If anyone is interested please get in contact to discuss if this is the course for you or if you have any questions. The course will run in the Swansea area.
Throughout the course, candidates will explore simple strategies and safe skills that can provide the tools to solve common paddling issues and prevent issues from occurring. The course content focuses on rescuing from the paddlers specific craft and covers equipment, safety frameworks, as well as a range of rescues including contact and towing rescues, self-rescues and deep water rescues. This course can be used as a prerequisite for the Paddlesport Instructor Award or targeted at those wanting to attend coaching or leadership awards in sheltered water or used to improve people's awareness in rescuing and keeping yourself and others safe on the water.
