The WWS&R training course is designed for all paddlers operating in a moderate to advanced white water environment in either kayak or canoe. The training is required for those seeking their 4 star leader (white water or open canoe) award.

The objective is to provide the underpinning knowledge and teach simple and safe practical skills that can be applied appropriately. By it’s nature the course is very ‘hands on’ and should not usually contain much classroom work.

Course Aims:

  • To improve individuals awareness of safety skills in the river environment.
  • To teach personal survival skills.
  • To teach throwline rescue techniques.

To understand the need for structure in an emergency situation.

  • To outline basic rescue protocols that prioritise the safety of the individual above all others.
  • To introduce & develop the ‘clean rope’ principle.

Participants need to be 16 years of age to attend the course and have all the relevant pre-requirements as outlined on the BC website - click here

This course will be delivered by Moss Coaching.

This course runs over two days, 11-12th Dec.

The reduced coaches / leader ticket price is for coaches and leaders who make a commitment to coach / lead on 6 white water club trips during the next 18 months. Friends trips do not apply to the reduced rate. Existing WW leaders who need WWSR as their CPD can apply for the reduced rate.
