Just like a backcountry skier should take an avalanche safety course before going into avalanche terrain, boaters should take a Swiftwater Rescue Class to learn how to identify and mitigate hazards in a river environment. This class is appropriate for rafters, kayakers, packrafters, and paddleboarders. No boating is required for this class but all participants should have some experience in Class II+ whitewater environments. If you’re looking to adventure into class III or above, or you’re the most experienced person in your boating group, you should definitely take this class
