In these sessions, you will intentionally flip a raft in open water, practice 'wet exits' from kayaks, and run through full CPR and AED scenarios on the shore. These are practical, hands-on drills conducted at our Vani Vilas Sagar and Ambigarahalli facilities designed to build genuine water confidence, not just provide a thrill. ### Our Approach to Water Safety At GETHNAA, safety is the foundation of every adventure. Our advanced aqua sports and water safety modules are designed for individuals who want to move beyond recreational riding and understand the mechanics of water rescue. **What the Training Covers:** * **Rescue & First Aid:** We teach CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) and the use of Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs), ensuring you are equipped to handle medical emergencies on the water or the shore. * **River Hydrology & Navigation:** Learn to read river currents, identify eddies, and understand holes. We move past basic rowing to master Grade 2 and 3 rapid navigation. * **Advanced Vessel Handling:** You will train on 'wet exits,' self-rescue techniques, and the complex process of flipping and righting capsized rafts. * **Government Certification:** Upon completion of our intensive syllabus, participants are assessed for a GETHNAA-issued 'White Water Basic' or Level 1 certification, a mark of verified competency. **Training Locations** Our primary training grounds, including the Vani Vilas Sagar reservoir and the Ambigarahalli water sports center, provide controlled environments for these exercises. We use these sites because they offer both still-water stability for beginners and varying conditions for those practicing advanced rescue drills. Whether you are an aspiring athlete looking to compete or a water enthusiast wanting to become a safer, more capable navigator, our curriculum provides the technical grounding necessary for serious water sports. ## About General Thimayya National Academy of Adventure We are the General Thimayya National Academy of Adventure.
