Archived trip from old website run by jmacqueen
How would you help someone being swept away by a river?
Do you know how to rescue someone from a shallow water foot entrapment?
What would you do if you were caught in flood waters?
This course will teach you all this and more. It's ideal for those who are starting to get interested in Whitewater kayaking. This is a one day hands on introduction to swiftwater, basic rescue equipment and techniques. The course emphasises the challenges and dangers associated with operating in and around swiftwater situations and how to stay safe.
The course is to be run at Penrith Whitewater Stadium, a great environment for learning. http://www.penrithwhitewater.com.au
The plan is to go up Friday Night to a camping spot 30 mins from the Whitewater Stadium. The course starts at 8:00am and goes until 5:00pm.
There is also the possibility for some or all of the group to stay and enjoy the stadium on Sunday. Please let me know of you would be interested in doing this when you sign up.
Participants are eligible for a refund from the ANUMC. This will be approx $100 per participant
The trip will require at least 8 participants to run. We will make the call Monday November 2nd
