Whitewater Safety and Rescue (WWS) is a course that anyone who is regularly paddling whitewater should attend. It's a two-day, hands‑on safety and rescue training designed for paddlers on moderate (Grade 2/3) white‑water, covering all the skills you need to safely and confidently paddle in a group environment. It aims to create positive habits and practices, cover the best communication and safety techniques, and foster the paddling community spirit.

There are 6 spaces available, on a first come first served basis.

Signups will be released at 14:00 tomorrow!

Who its for:

• Members regularly paddling within the club and looking for whitewater leadership roles within the club
• You are comfortable on Grade 2 (and some Grade 3) rivers
• You are able to paddle independently in chosen craft (kayak) on the above
• You are comfortable swimming about a river for 2 days!

When:

Where:

North Wales (Dee/Tryweryn)

Extra Stuff:

It is an attendance based course, so there is no pass or fail, just giving everything a go and practicing until it’s sunk in!

The aim is to teach you the techniques to a level that is safe and then you can then go away and practice and perfect them on your own. 

Cost:

Maximum £60

Includes transport, accomodation and course costs. If the group/coach decides to use an area where launch fees are needed, this will be no more than £10 a day.

As always, if you have any questions then just ask!
