PaddleSafer

The Paddle Safer course is designed for anyone new to paddling, or relatively inexperienced to paddling, wanting to gain knowledge and raise their awareness of paddling safely in a sheltered water environment, in or on the craft they paddle. The typical craft would include kayaks, canoes, stand-up paddleboards, sit-on-tops and inflatables.

The course is based on learning, and the ethos of ‘supporting the paddler’ is the main focus of the course, encouraging individuals to consider where they paddle, and the equipment they use, as well as providing practical solutions if they get into difficulty.

The course is suitable for all ages and great for individuals, families and groups wanting to expand their safety practices when on the water. The course covers equipment, environmental factors, planning and rescues.
