Swift Water Rescue Courses

I recently joined SVRP for a two-day course on whitewater rescue and safety. It was incredible! I think the better term would be an "immersive experience" that Noah facilitated, creating a safe learning environment that was just as much fun as it was engaging and insightful. He was professional and clearly knew what he was teaching, he made sure that everyone was engaged and having fun, ensuring that the two days didn't feel like one long class filled with nothing but rules & principles. We were very pleasantly surprised when we found ourselves at some (comfortably) fast waters with a small dam that introduced some whitewater (which I may or may not have floated through ~25 times and whenever possible). We got to practice maneuvers ourselves, at first, with some help but then completely independently. I could not recommend Noah as an instructor enough and would be excited to join him again soon, in different activities. He truly makes you feel empowered to "Pick Your Paddle!" For someone who has limited experience being on moving water—admittedly, even afraid of it—I was proud of how comfortable I grew to be with it, and I have Noah to thank for that. One of the few times I’ve wished that I could grant more than five stars!!
