Aqua Survival Skills Course Builds Confidence for Safe River Adventures
A structured safety program on Australia’s whitewater rivers is offering paddlers a comprehensive introduction to swift water survival and self-rescue techniques. The Aqua Survival Skills Day Course is designed for participants of all experience levels, focusing on practical training for navigating rivers, lakes, and estuaries safely.
The course includes hands-on instruction in defensive swimming, assisted rescue methods, self-rescue techniques, and watercraft re-entry skills. In addition, participants receive classroom-style theory covering hazard awareness, water reading, meteorology, first aid in survival situations, hypothermia prevention, sun safety, and correct use of personal flotation devices.
Training is conducted on the Nymboida and Boyd Rivers, providing real-world exposure to both calm waters and challenging rapids. The natural environment enhances learning, with participants developing confidence under the supervision of qualified local guides.
Wildlife encounters, including platypus, rock wallabies, wombats, lyrebirds, and dragonflies, add an ecological dimension to the experience. Suitable for beginners through to advanced paddlers, the course is tailored to individual needs and prepares participants for safe and informed participation in future whitewater adventures.

Customer Reviews
I made contact with Donnchadh and arranged for him to come across and spend a day with him on our boat. We haven't been using it a lot and I knew my skills rusty. What an eye opener... The stuff we learned in a day was fantastic. We got dreadful weather which made it all the more interesting. Donnchadh taylored the day for our needs. Nothing was a problem. Lots of hands on guidance and a bit of a laugh too. I would have no hesitation in recommending Safe Water Training. Thanks for you guidance and advice Donnchadh 👍
I would highly recommend Safe Water Training, I have recently completed motorboat skipper as well as power boat training and certification with Donnchadh, I found the presentation and delivery of the course excellent and gained valuable knowledge and advice above and beyond the syllabus.
