Please contact and check availability before booking. Thank you....

Paddlesport Safety and Rescue is designed to providing paddlers with a range of rescue skills so that they can deal with situations/scenarios which could occur while they are on/in a very Sheltered Water environment.

The course is open to anyone of any age but to enjoy the course to the full we recommend that participants are old enough to follow instructions and manage the physical demands of the day.

It is delivered to cover 6 modules over 6 tuition hours:

Clothing and Equipment, Safety frameworks

Contact and Towing rescues, Self-rescues

Deep water rescues, Reflection and development

We provide a longer course to allow for more practice and participation time.

There will be opportunities to develop and progress your rescue skills and meet like-minded people during the course.

This course is a pre requisite for Paddle UK (British Canoeing) Paddlesport Instructor and Paddle UK (British Canoeing) SUP Instructor awards along with some other Paddle UK (British Canoeing) Awards.

We can deliver this course at different dates and at a location to suit a pre organised group of participants. Maybe your club/society would like to put this course on for its members?

We are able to make and provide some adaptations to help ensure that the course is open to as many participants as possible. We are keen to support those participants who feel they may require additional assistance in order to take part in the course. So do feel free to get in touch with us and ask for details.
