Video - swiftwater rescue training

I can’t go anywhere lately without running into the rescue people. This one was fun to watch because they’re IN the river — the ice cold snow-melt Merced near the Happy Isles bridge. The training was done by Sierra Rescue for NPS, USFS, county agencies, and river guides.
