Safety & Rescue Training

Two paddlers on a Paddlesports Safety & Rescue Course are sitting in a red canoe and  emptying a second canoe across the one they are sat in.
Paddlesports Safety & Rescue Training

This is a one day course aimed at paddlers who are just starting out on their paddlesports journey.

It is a sheltered water, multi-craft course, which will give you the skills and knowledge to keep yourself and your friends safe on sheltered lakes, gentle rivers and canals. 

The course will teach you to plan and risk assess simple journeys, help your friends and other paddlers if they are tired or injured and in need of assistance, and to rescue yourself and others if you or they capsize. 

This course is also the prerequisite to the Paddlesport Instructor Award.
