FOC (Fundamentals of Canoeing)
The Red Cross Fundamentals of Canoeing course
covers the basics for canoeing, including introduction to the sport,
equipment, boating safety basic techniques, strokes and rescues.
This course teaches students to be safe on and around the water
while learning to canoe in a flat water environment. It teaches
self-rescue skills and rescue of others. This is the first step
for girls to take, if they would like to participate in canoe trips.
Prerequisite: Girls must have a Red Cross Level III swim card or
equivalent and GSSJC Safe Boating Test. Adults must be comfortable
in deep water and pass the Safe Boating Test.
