Introducing a new class- Emergency Swimming.
We conducted this class for the first time this weekend. This is designed to help people stay alive after having to enter the water while in the back country, after falling out of a boat, or any other activity that might take you near still or moving water.
We covered how water moves, hypothermia and other medical problems, proper safety equipment, PFD use, throw rope use, self rescue, survival swimming, and rescuing panicked swimmers.
This class went great with a mix of classroom, pool work, and the last few exercises in a slow moving river.
