Run the Rapids, River Teifi

 

 

 

Today was my last day working for Llandysul Paddlers and Cat and I took a group of Lifeguards from the local pool for a "Run the Rapids" session. We started on the Lake where I taught basic control strokes in order that we could progress onto the river. The clients picked this up quickly and as they were using sit on tops it was very easy to go through the capsize and swim drills.
We moved onto the river and led them down through a series of grade 2 rapids to the exit point. There were a number of swimmers and at the end everyone got wet jumping off some boulders.

It has been a good week working somewhere new with new people. Back in the South West tomorrow.
