About Rescue Canada

Joe Storms (José Tormentas) first experienced the art of river swimming in the late 90's under the tutelage of Jim Lavalley, the pioneer of river rescue in Canada. Joe has had the opportunity to wear numerous hats over the past three decades which has allowed him to relate to many professions seeking guidance or training due to direct field experiences.
