WW Class Helper Training Clinic
Although all can attend, this day is specifically designed for the 2016 whitewater class graduates. It is also geared towards those who want to volunteer to help with the 2017 beginner whitewater course on the river, as well as in the pool. If you do plan on helping with the 2017 class, this training day is required. We will start out at the Tukwila pool and work on skills that are much better practiced in warm water, from there we will move to a local river.
Each participant will get hands on practice and feedback on the following skills:
How to hold students
Progressions for new paddlers - getting them comfortable being underwater
Tips and tricks to helping students in the pool during instruction
Hand to cockpit rescues
T-rescues/bow rescues
Review helpful material for a river helper during the basic course

Paddling with two paddles
Pushing a capsized boat
Towing boats
Towing swimmers (stern & bow)
Giving direction to a swimmer
