The course is designed for all paddlers irrespective of their chosen craft. The objective is to introduce\, explore and practise simple strategies and safe skills that can provide you with the tools to solve common paddling issues. \n\n\n\nYou will spend much of the day with your ‘preferred craft’ (open canoe\, kayak\, sit-on-top or paddleboard)\, but will need to spend at least some time with the other craft as we will learn how to deal with them all. You need therefore to be competent paddling your ‘preferred craft’ to enable you to complete the course. Although it is not necessary to hold a British Canoeing Awarding Body Personal Performance Award\, you should have ability in at least one craft equivalent to the Paddle Explore Award. \n\n\n\nThe Paddlesport Safety & Rescue course is a pre-requisite for the British Canoeing Awarding Body Paddlesport Instructor Award. \n\n\n\nMinimum 2\, maximum 8 candidates. No minimum age (although paddlers must be physically able to undertake the course – and under-18s should contact me to check suitability). \n\n\n\nThe course fee is £100\, which includes coaching\, equipment and certification (or contact me for bulk discount e.g. clubs or centres). \n\n\n\nParticipants should bring (I can provide * if you do not have these): \n\n\n\n\n* Your usual / preferred craft and paddle (you may also bring other craft – open canoe\, kayak\, sit-on-top or paddleboard – & paddles if you have these) – please confirm with me which type of craft you intend to bring\, I will provide others.\n\n\n\n* Buoyancy aid\, helmet\, spray-deck\n\n\n\nPersonal paddling clothing suitable for the weather – we will get wet!\n\n\n\n* Personal safety equipment (throwline\, knife\, towline\, tape/sling\, karabiner)\n\n\n\nCanoe Wales / British Canoeing Membership card (if you are a member!)\n\n\n\nLunch / snacks / drinks\n\n\n\nCash for parking (c.£4) and toilets (20p)\n\n\n\n\nThe course will take place on the River Usk at Brecon Promenade (depending on water conditions). \n\n\n\nWhat to Do Now\n\n\n\n\nContact me as soon as possible if you have any questions.\n\n\n\nComplete and return to me (by e-mail or post) the attached Booking Form.\n\n\n\nPay the course fee of £100:by buying a ‘ticket’ using the link belowor via BACS\, cheque or if your employer or another organisation is paying (details on booking form).\n\n\n\n\nCourse Cancellation Policy\n\n\n\nIf the course is cancelled by me\, I will offer a choice between transferring fees to the next available course or receiving a full refund.
