On our Class IV and V whitewater trips on Sixmile Creek we ask guests to perform a practice swim at the start of each trip. We feel that this helps folks significantly in a) deciding they actually want to go along on this adventure and b) understanding what to do if they find themselves out of the raft and in the river. During this practice swim, guides can coach folks on the best techniques when swimming in whitewater. After the swim practice guests have the opportunity to get further instruction or opt out of the trip if they don’t like the prospect of swimming in moving water again.
