Tide Race / River rescue

As sea kayakers in Switzerland it may seem difficult to get experience in the more difficult conditions on the sea. When we are limited to just a few weeks holiday a year in the playgrounds of Anglesey and beyond, how do you get the necessary experience?

What we do have is a great variety of high volume rivers and white water on our doorstop. A tide race itself is literally a river on the sea formed by tidal movement and actually here in Switzerland we have the perfect training ground to get exactly the right experience, the opportunity to develop our moving water skills and have lots of fun to complement what we already have on the lake.

Our Tide Race / River Rescue course takes place on the Aare from Thun to Bern and look at developing our rescue skills on moving water.

Prerequisite

Our Tide Race / River Rescue courses are aimed at paddlers who have experience on the river and lake completing our lake courses and river / Tiderace courses or equivalent.
