Club Training for Skills progression
The Club uses the Paddle Australia award system to progress a paddler through an increasing skill level. The level of demonstrated skill and theory required to achieve these awards are detailed in the SKCWA Skills Progression links below.
As a new joining member, you will be required to attend a club induction of 3 hours duration and demonstrate that you can meet the requirements of the Basic Skills award before being able to paddle with the club. The inductions are offered monthly. It is the responsibility of a new member to attend an induction. You will not be able to paddle with the club until it is successfully completed,
The club runs a continuous training program, based around the clubs method of delivery, the Sea Award Pathway link below. The program encourages members to voluntarily gain awards so that they can feel confident and have the necessary skill to paddle at three SKCWA levels. These levels are: All Paddlers (AP), Introduction to Sea Skills (ISSA) and Sea Skills (SSA). See the link below for SKCWA Skills Progression
