Kids Paddling Tip #3:

1) Never go kayaking or canoeing alone. This rule applies to kids and adults.

2) Always wear a Life Jacket. No exceptions! Wear a helmet if you are going in fast water.

3) Make sure your clothes are right for the weather. If the water is cold, wear a wetsuit.

4) Watch your step. Lots of people hurt themselves getting in or out of their boat. Be careful if you jump into the river. Make sure there are no rocks just below the surface.

5) Have fun and tell others about your trip.
