Safety and Rescues Refinement

 

Ready to take your safety skills to the next level? Our Safety and Rescues Refinement session will expand your tool kit for when a paddling trip becomes less than ideal. While emphasizing concepts of protecting your body and starting from the simplest rescue to the more complex, you will have the space and opportunity to try out new types of rescues while gaining confidence in your on water rescue abilities. Better yet, with all of the different rescues techniques out there, each class has a unique lesson plan based upon individual student experience and goals. It’s the perfect class to revisit again and again, with sessions directed by our expert Instructors.
