Swiftwater rescue is a relatively new discipline, with its first key texts published in the 1970s. Since then, swiftwater rescue training has become a standard part of nearly every fire department, rescue squad, and paddlesports school worldwide. Flooding and other high-water events have grown more frequent, which has increased the demand for this kind of training. Justin Padgett’s new book, Swiftwater Rescue: A Manual for Students and Instructors, offers essential information on swiftwater rescue, covering everything from rescue philosophy to technical rope skills. The manual features the most current information available, outlining principles and techniques relevant to both recreational paddlers and professional swiftwater rescuers.
