River saftey

 River safety

  • Rules

  • Be supervised.
  • If in doubt stay out.   
  • Plan your trip.
  • Know your limits.
  • Think before you act.
  • look first.
  • Keep yourself safe first.
  • Keep your distance.

In the River we learnt about Waves and Eddies And stuff like that.If you're in the river and you're going down in the current and your in trouble first try not to panic and then try find a safe eddie and and do survival backstroke to the eddie.If there no Eddies then Call out for help and tread water.If you see someone flowing down the river follow them down the river and throw them something that would float for them to hold onto. Don't jump in and try to save them because as soon as they get close to you they will grab onto you and you will die with them.If you want to learn how to do survival backstroke and learn what eddies are and waves go to topec you won't only be learning you will be having fun to.So rember be safe in rivers and if indout stay out.
This river can be a hadzed because as soon asm you hop in you will be pulled down the river stright away and there might be a big drop up ahead.Like this one
Know this doesn't mean not to swim in rivers it just means be safe and plan your trip be supervised and if in doubt stay out

    The thought of a waterfall down stream would certainly scare me!! I would look ahead. I know when I was floating down you certainly could not see waht was up ahead.
