2 days learning some swift water rescue- Tom Dollé

So rescue is the most important thing we can learn when we are a kayaker, because It can save your life and save the life of your friends...Matt was our teacher, he is really cool.

So the first day, we learnt to throw the rope to someone who is swimming. We also did a competition of throwing the rope, we had to throw the rope, pull it back in and throw again, and the fastest won.

The afternoon we learnt how to get out of a tree under water, this was so much fun but really scary.

The next day, we ran the middle channel of the Ottawa, we did the left part of the ST chute. After we swam in a hole that body recirculates, we also went in the hole in kayak with Brice, he won the competition and he made me swim... 

Matt and Clay showed us some river signals.

It was 2 really fun days and all I learnt during these 2 days will help me for the future.
