Everyday is a learning day, and that was certainly true this weekend. We had the pleasure of having Swiftwater Training down providing PWC training for members of our Boat Unit.
Topics include ocean, inlet, lake and moving water dynamics; near shore hazards and problems; transport, set up, launch and retrieval procedures for PWC; construction, maintenance and repair of PWC and rescue techniques and operations for which the PWC is used in a variety of environmental conditions.
The course teaches the basic skills for both operator and rescue crewman. It will enable the students to identify clearly there own limitations as well as those of the equipment, so that they will be able to utilize craft more safely and effectively.
Thank you to Peter and Paul for their excellent training and guidance. We look forward to working with them again as we continue improving the capabilities of our unit.
Special thanks to our Drone Leader, Brian for the excellent photos and videos below.
