Designed for swimmers and non-swimmers, with the accent on safety, this course can build self-confidence, help learn new skills and provide beneficial exercise.

Four levels begin with forward and reverse paddling, safety and group work, progressing to capsizing, rolling, rescue and techniques like draw strokes, stern rudder and bow rudder. Work on moving water is the final stage.
