Course information
What will be in the assessment?
Under the club rules on successful completion of the assessment you can:
- Paddle on your own;
- Participate on club trips on moving water.
I therefore need to be confident that you will be safe to do both. What I will be looking for is that:
- You have good control of your boat;
- You are aware of and understand hazards and dangers you may face.
The first bit will be going on the water and me observing:
- Confident forward paddling with good awareness of what is going on around you;
- Turning, stopping, backwards paddling;
- Moving the boat sideways (draw strokes)
- Preventing capsize (low brace support).
The second bit will be covered in a short written test.
