River Rescue Skills

Club River Rescue Skills Day

Calling all Whitewater Paddlers! Sunday May 31st 2026
Skills that we could review and practice include: –
-throw bagging 
-canoe over canoe on the river
-towing and pushing boats
-swimming with and without boat
-sandwich rescue (best for loaded boats)
The day will be led by RCABC certified moving water instructors. Many of us learn these skills but don’t get a chance to practice. Now is your chance!
Please contact Jenny Wakeling (j.wakeling@shaw.ca) for more information.

For moving water canoeing, RCABC river rescue skills courses are recommended in preference to regular swiftwater rescue courses since they are  specifically targeted to canoeists. Levels 1 and 2 are available through Elements Adventure company
