LLREC 934 - Testing the Waters: An Introduction to Kayaking

Despite being the second driest state in the nation, Utah offers a surprisingly enjoyable array of reservoirs, lakes and rivers to explore in the warmer months. Join your instructor, a seasoned kayak guide and long-distance paddler, to learn the fundamentals of kayaking. You'll learn the different parts of a kayak along with safety tips for being out on the water. Then, you'll venture out onto flatwater to learn basic strokes and what to do if your boat accidentally tips (wet exit). You'll leave this class with the confidence you need to enjoy Utah's beautiful water. Students should be comfortable on open water and be able to swim 25 yards.
