πŸš¨πŸ›Ÿβš οΈ We get asked frequently about the correct way to thread a quick release belt. The answer - It depends on the manufacturer. Many Manufacturers of Quick Release Rescue Belts, designed for Swiftwater rescue use, have specific instructions. Going against these instructions could cause increased risk to the rescuer, as the belt may not function as intended. When in doubt, follow the manufacturers recommendations!

πŸŒŠπŸ›ŸThe focus of this 3-day Whitewater Rescue Technician Pro (WRT-Pro) course is on the necessary knowledge and skills for river guides and kayakers that spend a good portion of their lives on the river in a professional capacity to choose good actions when a river rescue is necessary while on technical rivers (class III and higher).

WRT-Pro is tailored to the specific needs of paddlers, their equipment, and the environment they are in. The energetic and physical curriculum will be challenging and focuses on quick reaction time with a thorough understanding of options and resources. There is no classroom session as this course assumes prior river knowledge from all participants.

Upcoming WRT Pro Courses:

May 20, 2026 - Barry's Bay (Madawaska Kanu Centre), ON
