As Nigel Says, FSRT does not expire but one has to have attended within the previous 3 years where it is a pre-requisite, as for L1 Coach. That said, it is always good to keep up to date. In many ways, the more challenging WWSR fills the bill of keeping in date but it probably does not satisfy the requirement as a pre-requisite for L1 coach as the environment in which it works is different. Hope this helps?
I hope you are all looking forward to Foundation Safety and Rescue training and practice next Saturday? I am!
Unless otherwise arranged, please meet at the club for a 9am start. We will start in the classroom so don't get changed or get boats out upon arrival, 'though you might want to claim one if there are limited boats you can use. We will use canoes and kayaks of varying styles.
We will cover as much as we can dry before going on, and in, the water.
Of course, if I deem the weather inappropriate for the wet bits, I will postpone those parts of the session until I am back over Easter. If that happens we will discuss dates but I will be around from Good Friday 25 March until Sunday 3 April so we should be able to finish off then.
Before you attend, have a look at these videos on U Tube: I won't be able to show them on the day as they need a live internet connection, unless someone can arrange that? If so I can bring a laptop and projector.
Also have a look at the 2 attached files, syllabus and course notes as on the BC website.
Please arrive fully equipped for the day, including appropriate clothing in which to swim and your lunch with a hot drink. You can get together to bring tea and coffee etc makings, assuming the kettle still works?
On the syllabus, you will see the specialist kit you should bring. Please bring as much of it as you can without buying any specially. We will have a wide selection of kit to play with on the day and the course will put you in a better position to decide what you need to buy after it. You will need to be fully equipped safety and rescue wise when you attend your L1 training in April. Please make sure between you that we have access to the club throw and tow lines, I will bring mine but there won't be enough for all. If you have anything you carry for safety that's not on the syllabus, please bring it. The more we have to look at and practice with, the better.
Looking forward to meeting some of you and re-acquainting with others, I don't know who you are yet as you have booked on web collect and I don't have access to it!
