ACA QUICK START INTRO TO PADDLE

QuickStart is a brief, three-hour introduction to paddling. Students are presented with basic information on dressing to paddle safely, potential hazards and simple rescues. A minimal paddle skill set is presented and practiced, allowing students to safely and comfortably maneuver on still water. While designed as a stand-alone, introductory course, QuickStart students often progress to advanced courses to acquire greater paddling skill through significantly more guided, on-water practice time.
