How to Escape a Whitewater Hole When Swimming: By Aidan Kilkenny

  

1. The first step to escaping a whitewater hole is to remain calm and composed.

2. Try to swim towards the surface of the water as quickly as possible.

3. Use your hands and arms to push yourself upwards and away from the hole.

4. Once you reach the surface, take a deep breath and assess your surroundings.

5. Look for the nearest point of safety, such as a rock or shoreline, and swim towards it.

6. Avoid getting caught in the same hole again by staying alert and aware of your surroundings.

7. If possible, try to swim with the current rather than against it to conserve energy.

8. Seek medical attention if you have sustained any injuries or feel unwell after escaping the hole.
