Safety & Rescue Introduction

RescueHP 2Welcome

This site is meant to help DC area paddling clubs and non-profits like Team River Runner, Heroes on the Water, etc. with whitewater training.  The Washington DC area is blessed with a number of very talented volunteers making paddling a safe and enjoyable sport.  If you haven't joined a local paddling club, I highly recommend doing so.  
SYOTR,
