Testimonials

Julie and Abigail are amazing! They communicate unbelievable well with the students and instill a passion and enthusiasm for learning. The excitement the students feel spreads like wildfire after every WFR or Swiftwater class they do!

Jordy Margid, UC Davis Outdoor Adventures

Just recently took a Swiftwater class with Don Lester and Liam O’Neill at Knight’s Ferry. In my 23 years of being a fireman, it was easily one of the best taught classes I have ever taken. The professionalism and knowledge of these two men was off the charts. The made the class interesting and fun. Thank you for preparing me to excel at the next step in my career. I will recommend you to everybody that i know is interested!

Bob Bialobreski, Fire Captain/PM - Orange County Fire Authority

We had a wonderful experience with Aaron Root yesterday for our specialized Stream Crossing/Stream Rescue class. Thank you so much for working with the Sierra Club to provide such an excellent experience to the leaders who attended. It is my hope to expand the number of leaders who wish to receive similar training and I will be raising the issue at the leadership meetings I attend. Hopefully we will work together again in the future.

Aaron was a thorough, competent, and encouraging teacher. We a…

Many courses attended over the years and this group of instructors was by far the best

Chris Betta, New York Fire Department SCUBA Unit

Top notch training that goes above and beyond, from awesome, super professional, and experienced staff. I challenge you to find better training anywhere!

Neil Raumann, City of Turlock

I just wanted to say thank you for the excellent training course. Abigail put on an outstanding class. The information was directly applicable to our work and our personnel, and greatly exceeded our expectations. Every member of our crew, old and new came away with a lot of knowledge and confidence, in themselves as well as one another. Thank you once again for being so flexible and for the exceptional class.

Ryan Revnak, Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission

The best instructors to ever teach a class I was participating in.

John Darcy, New York Fire Department

Abigail and Don just nailed the training yesterday…training with a casual approach and a sense of humor, but underneath, there is great competence! Thanks and we’ll see you in two years for a recert!

Anne Liston, UC Davis

I had expected the class to be informative and fun. It far exceeded my expectations in both of those areas and I hold Zach personally responsible. He had a way of communicating the lessons in a manner that made them easy to understand and put into use in the hands-on scenarios. The time spent in the river, while hard work was always fun and educational.

The best instructors to ever teach a class I was participating in.

John Darcy, New York Fire Department

The class was tailored to the type of work that the DWR group I work for does; working on levees near fast moving water and manmade structures. Julie, our instructor, did an outstanding job of keeping everything relevant to our needs. I really feel that any DWR staff that work around water should take this class.

Kevin Clark, California Department of Water Resources

Most enjoyable course I have taken for FDNY
