Safety & Rescue
Safety/Rescue 1
Unlike safety/rescue courses from many other sources, our classes are specifically formatted to meet the needs of paddlers. River reading considerations, recognition of potential hazards, and skills and equipment necessary for rescues are all unique for individual kayakers and canoeists. Ask other paddlers and they’ll tell you that no one brings more knowledge and experience to teaching this course than Current Adventures. We have offered these classes since we started 13 years ago and are continually adding information and techniques relevant to the changes in the sport. The two-day course includes the ACA Swiftwater Rescue Workshop and card of participation. Class II boating skills are all that are required.

Client Comments: “Thanks for the instruction this past weekend in the swift water rescue course. It was outstanding and it drastically changed my mentality regarding river safety . Personally, one of my biggest fears is/was swimming whitewater since the few opportunities I’ve had were under less than controlled circumstances. Your ability to make participants feel comfortable was especially appreciated by those of us with little or no experience in any type of rescue situation.” ~ Dave
