Pre-requisites: Prior to getting in boats participants must show they have the ability to roll into the water and swim 50 metres (any stroke) and stay afloat (tread water) for 1 minute (as per the National Lifesaving Society Swim to Survive standard). Instructors will assess swimming ability on the 1st day of the program so please come ready to get in the water. Swim ability is assessed without a lifejacket or other flotation device. If your child is nervous about this process we welcome you to swim along with your child to ease the nerves.

Equipment:

The Rideau Canoe Club will supply all paddling equipment. Although we have PFD’s for paddlers we highly recommend that paddlers wear a personally owned PFD to ensure comfort and fit for paddling.
A racing jersey is required for all EOD and Ontario sanctioned events. We will have clothing available for sale in early May.
Paddlers must bring water bottle, sunscreen, hat, running shoes, spare clothing and a healthy lunch and snacks each day. Clothes that are light, loose fitting and made of quick drying fabric are best.

Personal Equipment: Many competitive paddlers have their equipment. Although the club has a large selection of boats and paddles these may not be of the competitive level or quality the individual likes. Most competitive paddlers purchase their own boat by the end of the Midget age class. If looking for the boat or paddle to best match the individual please consult your coach first.
