Swiftwater Awareness

This class will provide participants with an awareness of the nature and depth of potentially life-threatening hazards in, and more importantly around, moving water. The emphasis is on the identification of hazards and self-rescue. This is a theoretical session only. Swift Water Awareness has been quite popular during past Spring Academies.

Instructors for this class are still being determined. Please expect this course description to evolve, as we get closer to the academy-date.
