This is an introductory course in whitewater canoeing. It stresses technique, safety and enjoyment. Instruction is designed to give participants a solid foundation in Class II Whitewater and includes choosing the correct equipment, balance, bracing, paddling strokes, whitewater maneuvers (upstream and downstream ferries, eddy turns and peel-outs), river reading, safety, and assisted and self-rescue techniques. If during the course students reach proficiency in Class II Whitewater, the class may then advance to paddling Class III Whitewater before it concludes.
