Sat and sun were my 2star coaching Attachment, I was a coach Asst this 2 days. My 1st day was sat, I was Attached Kiwi and Meng thi for the sec days of courses of 2star. (KIWI and Meng thi is a Lvel 3 trainee coach and Lvel 2 coach respectly, So is my senior coach lor)
It was a expedition day for that 2star course, we were brought the student paddle towards changi Sealing Club then we rested at commando jetty for lunch. Along the way, the wind and tide was brought us towards the direction where we headed. After the lunch we were drafted up and back to changi beach again, this time we were go along the current and Tide Race. But the student manage to paddle through.
Note: Tide Race : Is when the tidal stream went against the wind, that would make the water lots of chopy waves. For our local still alrite, but for open sea our kayak may very difficult to paddle.
Tidal stream: is a horizontal movement of the water ( it appearing spring tide and neap time)
Tidal hide: is wat we know high tide and low tide.( Horizontal movment of the water (Depth))
Wanna to know more come and take 2 star at CSSC :P:P
Incident was happined:
-----------------------
1. Before we went for expedition, i suppose to formed draft outside near the red bouy. and then i was paddled to fast and too far. I was paddle more towards the yellow bouy which is too far away frm the student to reach. Luckly Meng thi form raft near the red bouy and back up me.
2.One of the student, she was my 1star student. she was paddle in zizaz, she unable to controlled the dancer in the straight line and the rest was went very smooth. She was left behind and Kiwi was with her, and me is a back man of the student, meng thi he was a leader of the expedition. Ended up the student was Towed toward the place where we beached by Kiwi, and kiwi wanted her to paddle along back to changi, if she not kiwi will considered her as not completing her jorney. Because 2star need to have at least 6 km to get passing the critiria. Finally she manage to make it.
3. When we was back to Changi Beach, I suppose to be a middle man of the expedition grp, While we reached the channel. Kiwi is a expedition leader and he was checked the clearing of bum boat channel and the channel was no bum boat passed by. Kiwi was give the timing 1, 2, 3, all the 2star student was charged over the bum boat channel, that time it was 2 of the student over took kiwi, and that time i was chassed the 2 student. Due to i was chassing the 2 student, The whole expdition grp strectch was became longer, and that time i was continue paddling.
Kiwi was browed his whisle, due to too far i cant hear. And then Meng thi was trying to given me the raft up side signal, and he's purpose was to asked me to stop and forming raft due to 1 of the kayak was capsize in between the bum boat channel.
And i was mistaken that he wanted formed raft over his side, Meng thi was abt 300m away frm me and that time and some of the stduent was quite near me and so was still with him.
Due to that student was confussion, all student was stop at the same time and some of them were still quite near to the bum boat channel. And that time Meng thi faster bring the student come to my side to form a raft and thing was still goes well.
When after we reached the changi beach, we were let the student rested for 10mins, after that we proceed to next activities. After the break over, we were ask the student did their eskimo Bow Rescue.
The Eskimo Bow Rescue (Building blk)
____________________________
1. Capsize and tow back with paddle retained.
2. Capsize once more do the 10 times taping and tow back to shore with paddle retained.
3. Use the kayak bow Hip frick 10 time at each side ( For eskimo Bow rescue technical safely)
4. After that the final one Capsize, hand on top the hull and swing forward and backward and wait for the bow to reached the capsize vitim, and then once the capsize vitim caught the kayak bow, he or she will lefting up her body and hold the bow, whlie they using the hip frick recover their' er kayak.
Swimmer to kayak
______________
Its very simple, when the kayak see a swimmer shouting for help, wat they need to do is paddle a good speed towards the swimmer and then let the swimmer secure safely frm the Bow or stern.
For securing the bow, the recommended way is the swimmer lai back and use the both leg to clamp at the kayak bow, the head need to keep away frm the kayak to prevent the kayak heat on to the nose.
For at the stern, the recommended way is to using the face down method to clam it over the kayak, and then bring 1 leg a cross the kayak. Both let support the side of the kayak while both hand finger grip onto the side coaming.
After the kayak to swimmer, it was almost time and we was beaching up and pack up to the washing bay and use the standard way to wash the paddle and vest, due to the kayak next day we still need to use, so we just left out the kayak and w/o washing also we lay it properly on the club outside the shower room.
Although i still not use to it, is a great explosure for me to preparing my level 2 coaching course. Hopefully this time i will do it well then my last level 1 coaching.
For the sun attachment, i will be blog again tmr. Stay tune to Dancer Blog. :P:P
