Swiftwater Rescue

The Rescue 3 International Swiftwater Rescue Technician courses were designed to help rescuers aid others and at the same time help themselves. These courses are not clinics or workshops but are comprehensive, competency based programs.

Each course is delivered with a minimum of class time; skills are developed on the riverbank and in the water! Essential for recreational boaters, commercial guides, firefighters and search and rescue teams, or anyone who lives or works near moving water.

The courses were developed by a group of active professionals from organizations responsible for search and rescue, river guiding, whitewater kayaking, lifesaving, police and fire fighting services.

Combining over 100 years of swiftwater experience, Rescue 3 has made a dedicated full time commitment to swiftwater safety and its evolution.
