"One thing to know about rivers is they're classified for levels of difficulty. So rivers are classified from class one to class six. Class one is usually moving current, wide open, easy routes to follow. Class two goes up. There's a few more obstacles in the way, but many choices to go down the river. Class three the choices get limited in which ways to go, but there's usually several options. In class three to class four and five, you want to keep in mind that if you do flip out and swim, there's a chance that you might get hurt. You want to keep that in mind when you decide to run higher classifications of water. When you go up to class four, again, the choices of running the rapid are limited, but there's usually some safer routes and more dynamic routes. When you get up to class five, that usually means there's a key route, it's must make moves, and you've got to precise on your paddling. When it goes to class six, they usually call unrunable. You should know the classification of river you are paddling. If you don't know what classification it is, you can go to the American Whitewater site and you can find out there. You should also know river levels will change the classification of a river, so get your information."
