Level 3 River Skills Training

Paddle With Purpose

Our Level 3 River Kayak Skills Training is more than just technical ability - it's about learning to move with awareness, read the river - respond with calm and confidence.

Our Level 3 Kayak Skills is designed for paddlers ready to progress beyond the basics and embrace a whitewater environment on grade 2 - 3 rivers.

Our course is a blend of technical development, and a deep connection with the river. With us, you will learn to read the water and features, catch eddies with precision, perform safe rescues and refine those strokes that keep you in command.

Course Highlights:

• Control on moving water - catching eddies, breaking in and out, ferry gliding, crossflow momentum
• River Reading - Hydrology, hazards and safe lines
• Awareness and decision making - grounded in presence
• Rescues - Self rescue (Roll) and assisted rescues

Who is this course for?

• Level 2 paddlers looking to progress or with previous moving water experience
• Those preparing for the Canoeing Ireland Level 3 Skills Award
• Instructors, club paddlers and adventure seekers looking to develop rescue competence and a resilient mindset

This training is a key step toward your Level 3 Kayak Skills Award, but more than anything, it's an invitation to paddle with purpose and recalibrate your senses.
