Llyn Padarn

This is a one-day Safety & Rescue course, that will equip you with the skills to look after yourself and your friends on sheltered water - lakes, gentle rivers and canals.

This is a very hands-on, practical course, with lots of time spent on the water, in boats and on boards, and a fair bit of time spent in the water as well! 

It is a multi-craft award, so you will learn how to rescue kayaks, canoes and SUPs from your chosen craft.

As this is a BCAB certified award, the full skills checklist and course programme for this course can be found here: https://britishcanoeingawarding.org.uk/safety-sheltered-water-resources/
