Foundation Safety and rescue course. - 2010/08/23 18:03
After the last committee meeting there appeared to be some intrest in a safety course but the white water safety and rescue (WWSR) was a bit on the advanced side for some. The Foundation Safety and Rescue Trraining (FSRT) course was mentioned and seemed more appropriate. This gives the basices of safe kayak / canoe and rescue skills all of which are revisited on the WWSR course. The full sylabus is available on the BCU website.
Two of my collegues are capable or running this BCU course, i've had a chat with them and it would seem we would need 6 people at least to make it a goer and the price would be about £50 each. The club would be able to help out with funding of some sort for this course, lets leave the specifics of costs untill we see if any interest exists.
Basically if you're interested in getting the basics of safety correct then this is the course for you. Most of if not all would be run on flat water so paddling ability is not an issue. Any takers?? Post who and when, I would suggest that weekends are easiest for all to make and the location would be at Castle Semple Centre, Lochwinnoch. The dates there are flexible so give me some idea of when suits you.
