Inside you'll find:

• Teaching principles, lesson organization, and risk management for on-water classes
• Skill progressions and feedback cues for efficient strokes, maneuvers, and boat control
• Guidance for planning sessions, briefing participants, managing groups, and adapting to venue and conditions
• Rescue and self-rescue considerations that support safer paddlers and safer learning environments

Who it's for: ACA-certified instructors, instructor trainers, guides, trip leaders, camp and scout staff, and anyone responsible for teaching paddling skills and safety.

Use this manual alongside ACA discipline/course curricula and local standards to plan, teach, and debrief sessions that are safe, inclusive, and fun.
