How To Get Past A Log On The River: By Toby

If you are swimming on a river and you see a log there are ways to get over it. In order to stay safe going past the log you must try and get over the log. This is because if you go under the log you can get stuck in unseen branches or get snagged by something. Once you get your chest on the log try to lean up and bring you ankles up in order to get over the log. Getting your legs up is essential to getting over the log. If you do not get your legs up the water will push you under neath the log meaning you could get snagged. Another way to avoid the logs is to scout the river ahead for any logs beforehand. You should only try to swim or kayak a log if you have no other choice.
