Event Information

Description
The canoe lake lesson is the starting point for any canoeing you wish to do with Hoofers. It is distinct from the kayak lake lesson. We'll cover basic skills needed to control your canoe on flatwater---going straight, turning, and bracing. We'll also cover Hoofer rules governing the use of our canoes and equipment on Lake Mendota and club trips.

You need to have taken a canoe lake lesson to participate in any club canoeing trip, such as the upcoming Canoeing Fall Colors Trip in October.

We'll meet outside the Boathouse at Memorial Union at 1 pm. Come dressed in appropriate canoeing attire---shoes or sports sandals that can get wet, a swimsuit or shorts, a light shirt for sun protection and maybe a hat and sunglasses (with a strap). A towel and sunscreen are advised, too. I should be able to give a swim test after the lesson (also required for club paddling trips).

I welcome any assistance from other canoeing instructors or leaders.
