SWIMMING ASSESSMENT

< SPRINT CANOE KAYAK < INTRO TO SPRINT 
Prior to getting in boats participants must show they have the ability to roll into the water and swim 25 metres (any stroke) and stay afloat (tread water) for 1 minute (as per the National Lifesaving Society Swim to Survive standard). Swim ability is assessed without a life-jacket or other flotation device. If your child is nervous about this process we welcome you to swim along with your child to ease the nerves.
​
The assessment will take place at the Rideau Canoe Club dock in the Rideau River the first day of the camp supervised by a certified instructor.  Participants are required to pass the assessment every year.
