Paddlesport Assessments on the Bridgwater Canal

 

 

 

Taking a break

Today I was conducting Paddlesport Assessments for Bridgwater College. During the assessment the students had to demonstrate Forward and Reverse Paddling, Moving Sideways, Getting in and out of a Kayak, Turning, Manoeuvring in a tight space, Preventing a Capsize, Capsize Drills and General Paddle Skills. I had a total of 14 students throughout the day paddling a mixture of Canoes and Kayaks

All that is left is some theory questions and once the students answer these (on Thursday) I expect to award nine 1 Star and one 2 Star Awards. Well done!

More practical assessments tomorrow morning
