River Rescue Course

A dynamic and practical Swiftwater Rescue course for both professional guides and whitewater enthusiasts. The River Rescue Course (RRC) was written and designed by professional river guides specifically for rafters, kayakers, and river runners of all crafts. This course is the perfect opportunity for anyone looking to learn how to navigate waters safely and efficiently.

Our course combines both hands-on training and classroom time, ensuring you have the best of both worlds. Our experienced instructors will guide you through the essential skills needed for river rescue, including recognizing hazards, performing rescues, and understanding the principles of river hydraulics. Our curriculum is carefully designed to provide you with the knowledge and confidence necessary to make the right decisions in high-pressure situations.

Throughout the course, you will learn valuable skills such as swiftwater swimming, throw bag techniques, and basic rope systems. You'll also learn how to assess and manage risks, as well as how to work effectively in a rescue team. Our instructors are passionate about river rescue and are dedicated to ensuring that you gain a deep understanding of the subject matter.

Participation and observation in all activities and a co-signed skills check-of sheet are required to receive the certificate of completion. Upon completion of the 2-day RRC course you will receive a River Rescue Certification from Sierra Rescue International. This course meets all requirements for the ACA level 4 Swiftwater Rescue Certification. If you feel uncomfortable with participating in any of the activities during the course please let your instructor know that you would like to observe. It is good to know your own limits, which is an important and respected part of being a rescuer.
