Kayak Instructor-Safety Boat operator, Cox3NC Commercial
Instructing a large group of kayakers needs a safety escort power boat with a swim lifeguard trained rescue crew.
- Working with groups of beginner kayaker or canoers will sometimes require a fleet tow.
- It may be just to get home in time for food or perhaps some form of disaster.
- This is all part of our outdoor youth adventure leadership training.
- If you are being paid in any way you must have a Cox3NC ticket. Go to Calendar. Click on your BL+Cox3NC date and follow the instructions to pay deposit.
- AND Royal Lifesaving Society Pool Lifeguard qualification is appropriate for this rescue crew.
- We teach the most effective ways of rafting up and towing a raft to get all clients home safely.
- Escort lifeguarding may also involve multiple rescues of kayaks or sailing dinghies in the event of sudden change in weather.
- There is likely to be multiple casualties requiring triage and directing clients to perform help tasks.
- Panic is always a factor in such events.
- Calm leadership and direction is needed.
- You may be a long way from help and trying to keep a person alive.
