RR+R Support 2011 Dextro Energy Triathlon ITU World Championship on Sydney Harbour

By Paul Shrubb - 1 year ago

 

The battle for the 2011 Dextro Energy Triathlon ITU World Championship Series was conducted in Sydney on the 10th April 2011. Risk Response + Rescue teamed with Life Guarding Services to provide water safety, first response and shark spotting for the swim legs on Australia’s famous Sydney harbour.

 

Over the course of the day thousands of competitors competed in various events including the Dextro Energy Triathlon in which almost all of the top 20 triathletes in the world lined up on the starting grid.

 

Lifeguarding Services  provided water safety with a fleet of inflatable rubber boats (IRB’s) supported by RR+R’s Rescue Jetski. During all vents the competitors were under the watchful eyes of the team and those who required assistance were attended to professionally and expediently.

 

The event organisers, competitors and spectators couldn’t have asked for a better day or more suitable conditions as Sydney turned on the a beautiful autumn day and calm conditions on the harbour.

NSW Maritime release 'Ride Right' safety package for Personal watercraft users.

By Paul Shrubb - 1 year ago

To promote safe and responsible use of  jetski's or personal water craft (PWC), NSW Maritime developed the 'Ride Right' safety package– including a DVD, a mobile phone pouch, a new behaviour sticker that is compulsory to attach to all PWC's, a flier, a booklet outlining safety requirements, and a website page aimed to promote safe and responsible use of jetskis.

 

Two-time world surfing champion Tom Carroll and five-time world PWC champion Kylie Ellmers are safety ambassadors for Ride Right.

 

Tom is a professional waterman and uses a PWC's with his Storm Surfers team to tow onto massive waves in some of the most remote places on earth, while Kylie is at the pinnacle of the sport winning her fifth PWC title recently in the USA.

 

Tom Carroll said:"PWC's are awesome craft and make it possible to catch waves we have never ridden before but you need to know what you are doing and ride right."

 

Kylie Ellmers said:"PWC are not just another toy ... they are a powerboat, just smaller, and you need to know the rules for safe use."

 

The Ride Right safety education package was made with the support of the Boating Industry Association and other stakeholders in a bid to improve the culture of safe behaviour on NSW waterways.

 

Risk Response + Rescue offer a range of Nationally Accredited  water and marine safety and rescue competencies including the safe and responsible use of personal watercraft. The company also provides support services and training in the use ofpersonal rescue craft.

Marine First Aid course

By Paul Shrubb - 1 year ago

 

Hi RR+R,
Thank you for the very professional way that you managed our Marine First Aid course. Your courtesy, and prompt response gave me the confidence that we were working with professionals. The trainers were of exceptional expertise in their profession. The course successfully fulfills the Marine aspect of what may be encountered by our Marine Rescuers on our recreational and ocean waters.

 

Kylie [Fountain] was terrific and typical of your organisation. Her softly-softly approach worked really well and there was no feeling of a takeover or forced delivery.
