This weekend was the hugely successful Student Whitewater Safety Weekend in North Wales.
63 students.
12 world class coaches.
2 days focused on how to keep each other safe while having the best time ever.
All abilities and experience levels.
We were blessed with rain giving us a range of river sections to suit all needs and then the sun came out to enjoy the water in!
Here’s Team 4 (@newcastleunicanoeclub and
@bangorunicanoeclub) with FlowFree coach
@flowfree_lowri learning river reading, safe group management, an introduction to leading and some safety and rescue along the way on the River Llugwy.
SWSW will be beck next year to support and develop more student paddlers. Keep an eye on SWSW.boats for info on dates and sign up!
