Spring season is approaching and its time to brush up on river rescue! Abigail Polsby of Sierra Rescue is one of the best rescue instructors around. This is the 5th year they have done an SRT with the University of Puget Sound, and as always, it is open to the public! I strongly recommend this course if you spend time (or plan on spending time) on the water this spring and summer. Its good to brush up now; you never know who's life you might be saving...
Course Details
Dates- Friday March 21st 5-9pm UPS Campus Howarth 212 (we probably won't end that late and if you have a conflicts just call and we can chat about being here for just part of the evening session).
