Today I have been working with Level 3 Public Services students from Bridgwater College as part of their skills for water-based outdoor education module. I have a group of 6 that attend from 09.00-12.00 and another group of 6 who attend from 12.15-15.15. The venue is the Bridgwater and Taunton Canal based from the YMCA in Bridgwater.
Having already completed four sessions of kayaking, a tandem Open Canoe session and a session spent looking at rescue techniques for Canoe and Kayak we have now moved on to Solo Open Canoe skills.
We mainly focused on Solo forwards paddling using the 'J' Stroke and all of the transferrable skills from kayaking such as: Sweep Strokes, Draw strokes and the Stern Rudder.
A really good day with very little wind, this is a big help when first teaching the solo strokes.
