Description
This practical handbook contains activities, hints, tips, projects and games that young adventurers need to have fun afloat. Step-by-step photographs guide children through basic water safety, such as how to assess their water confidence and the difference between a life jacket and buoyancy aid, to more advanced techniques such a rowing a boat, sailing a small dinghy and planning a canoeing day trip. Children will also learn how to build a raft and make a paddle, swim in snorkelling gear and paddle a canoe. Tips and hints on how to tie useful sailing knots, important water rules and how to perform basic first aid should encourage children to enjoy their adventures afloat with confidence and enthusiasm.
