To ensure this:
• We work on a minimum instructor to student ratio of 1:8 on the flatwater (1:12 recommended in the Guidelines for the Safe Conduct of Sport and Physical Activity in Schools) and a minimum instructor to student ratio of 1:6 on the whitewater.
• All Penrith Whitewater instructors are qualified to Australian standards.
• All participants receive a safety briefing before entering the water.
• All participants receive an orientation on flatwater before progressing onto whitewater.
• At least two qualified instructors are present whenever a whitewater instruction session is taking place.
• Penrith Whitewater instructors are actively involved in their sport and include some of Australia’s best paddlers.
