SUMMARY:ACA Swiftwater Rescue\, L4 - Bill Miles\, instructor
DESCRIPTION:This course is being offered at the request of MWA & TRR.  The ACA L4 Swiftwater Rescue course 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.  We will cover boat-based rescue skills.  Scenarios will provide an opportunity for participants to practice their skills both individually and within a team/group context.  This course is perfect for anyone who uses float streams or whitewater.  We’ve all seen a canoe wrapped around a tree– you will be able to respond. \nDownload the full ACA Course description from the ACA \nReserve your spot: To save your spot\, contact the instructor (below). Registration will be open soon and managed via Earth’s Classroom\, Inc.\, www.earthsclassroom.org \nRequirements: thermal protection clothing\, a rescue life jacket (instructor can lend)\, good footwear\, a helmet\, a boat IF you want (not required).  Post registration\, the instructor will send a follow-up email to share additional details. \n\nLocation Information:  Class will start & end at Cinco de Mayo Campground – Riverside RV Park in Farmington.
