If you have ever felt the need for a course in swift water rescue, now is the time. Don't put off the inevitable. If you use rivers for recreation or professional endeavors, the odds are you'll come face to face with a situation requiring quick and decisive actions. Statistics prove that successful rescues are the product of trained and practiced individuals capable of reacting quickly when things go wrong.

Our philosophy is based on simple proven techniques with an emphasis on what can be done quickly with minimal equipment and efficient use of available resources. We strongly believe and teach that if every river runner is experienced and practiced in basic rescue techniques, we are all better off when the inevitable accident occurs.
