The Level 2 course is full-day training. It reinforces
and builds upon Level 1 skills. Propulsion and turning strokes are refined
and expanded, high and low bracing skills (to keep you from falling over)
are covered, and edging (to facilitate turns) is introduced. In
addition, you’ll learn how to rescue others – and how to get rescued - in
deep water, using the T-rescue. You’ll also learn how to rescue yourself,
without assistance from others (paddle float re-entry). After getting good
at Level 2 skills (you need to practice, practice, practice), you’ll be a
very confident and competent paddler in calm, protected waters. Level 2
competence also requires successful completion of at least one (and we
recommend several) day trips of at least 5 miles in protected water.
