Sierra Rescue – River Rescue Certification – Two Day Course

Sierra Rescue – RRC – 2-Day

The River Rescue Certifaication (RRC) is a dynamic river rescue course specifically written and designed for river guides, private boaters, kayakers, pack rafters and other river users. Basic river skills are a prerequisite so that we can jump right in to safety and rescue skills. Emphasis is on identifying hazards, good risk assessment, and on RESCUE itself; both of self and others. Thinking through rescues is also emphasized. This is the class you want as a river runner to stay safe and know what to do if something goes wrong. Although this course meets agency Swiftwater Rescue certification requirements for river guides and kayakers; its pace allows for thorough integration of knowledge and practice of the skills that matter. This is the first of three river rescue specific courses that build upon each other. This course should be a prerequisite to anyone boating on any river anywhere! The course addresses the river rescue needs of rafters, cat boaters, kayakers, pack rafters, canoeists, riverboarders and SUP paddlers. Upon request this can also be an American Canoe Association ACA Level 4 Swiftwater Rescue course.
