Required skills and health condition
-
This is open to any participant ,
male and female, in reasonably
good physical condition .

Requires that participants are not
afraid of water and of course can swim.
Indeed You do need to know how to swim
50m in clothing..
-
As with any
water sports, there is a chance of
briefly going underwater. It's nothing
to be afraid of, and your head is
underwater for usually no more than 3-4
seconds. Partycipants need to be
comfortable with this; however if the
idea of this is causing some anxiety,
just quietly mention it to the
instructor before you get on the water.
-
Additionally, if you suffer from asthma,
epilepsy, are diabetic or have any other
condition which could cause you
difficulties, please let the instructor
know. It certainly will not stop you
from canoeing, but the instructor just
needs to be aware for your own safety.
