SUMMARY:ACA Swiftwater Rescue
DESCRIPTION:This course is perfect for anyone who uses float streams or whitewater– we’ve all seen a canoe wrapped around a tree.  The ACA L4 Swiftwater Rescue workshop teaches recognition and avoidance of common river hazards\, execution of self-rescue techniques\, and rescue techniques for paddlers in distress. Emphasis is placed both on personal safety and on simple\, commonly used skills. Fundamental and more advanced techniques for dealing with hazards that carry greater risks for both victim and rescuer\, such as strainers\, rescue vest applications\, entrapments\, and pins\, also are practiced. Scenarios will provide an opportunity for participants to practice their skills both individually and within a team/group context. \nDownload the full ACA Course description from the ACA \nReserve your spot below. We will follow up via email to get the additional details required to complete your registration.  Requirements: thermal protection clothing\, a rescue life jacket (instructor can lend)\, good foot wear\, a helmet\, a boat IF you want (not required). \n\nLocation Information:  Class will start & end at Cinco de Mayo Campground – Riverside RV Park in Farmington.
