Swiftwater Rescue Tech

RiderOnTheStorm · 2011-06-08 11:21:07

anyone know where me & my buddies can do a swift water rescue course? Preferably in Munster, and preferably a few days, not a week long course. I know Dub Fire Brigade do a week long one on the Liffy, but I am not sure if this is open to non DFB members. Any & all info is appreciated.

Cork Fire Brigade run courses, for outside bodies also.
Civil Defence do the training. Not sure about private courses but look into Wales, just a ferry hop away.

You can organise an instructor from Wales to come over and teach SWR if you have a few people willing to participate. Various groups have been known to do this when needed.
