University of Limerick Kayak Club

So like I said at the Info Night last night, the club is going to try and run a Whitewater Technician course. The course is spread over three days. It will take place at Castleconnell and the Clare Glens. The course is an internationally recognized rescue qualification. It is more than likely going to take place late February, early March 2020. We can only take 8 people per course, but if we have a lot of interest we can speak to the instructors in running another course a different weekend.
The course will cost between 120-170 euros per person, so start saving now. A final price will be given closer to the time.

Course Material
Course content It is both classroom and river-based and will include:

• Hydrology and water dynamics

• Introduction to technical rescue equipment

• Hazard identification & risk assessment

• Introduction to rope systems

• Swimming in moving water

• Medical considerations

• Foot and body entrapments

• Scene management

• Contact and in-water rescues

• Two and Four point boat and rope system

• Crossing techniques

• Boat pins and entrapments

The pre-requisites in doing this course is that you are a Level 3 skilled Kayaker with basic knot knowledge and a good swimmer. If you don't think you are at that standard yet, you have a few months to get practice in and build up your skill. If you are interested in doing the course put your name down below. If you have any questions let me know.
