Description

What to do with a swamped canoe!

Did you ever wonder (or wish you knew),
Just what you might be apt to do,
If you capsize in the water and swamp your canoe?
Then come join Carl & Michael, this is for you!

Carl Zimm & Michael Hammer will demonstrate and practice canoe rescues together with you.

Please arrive at 5:45pm wearing warm when wet clothes (no cotton) and closed-toe shoes you don't mind getting wet (to protect your feet). You will get wet.

After picking out paddles and life jackets, we will canoe, capsize, and practice rescue scenarios

Standard swim test and previous canoe lake lesson required.

Meet at the triangle-shaped pier at 5:45pm.

Below are four different canoe rescues to consider practicing tonight. Hope to see you at the pier.
