Module Organiser: Trys Burke
Overview

During the module, you will experience and discover ways in which outdoor leaders change their leadership styles to accommodate their group’s needs in a diverse range of water-based environments and challenging activities such as wild swimming in the Menai Straits and coasteering off the West coast of Anglesey. You will also learn various coaching techniques and strategies, for example, tools to profile a client’s performance and create a safe and appropriate development plan for them. As a Year 2 student, you will be given the opportunity to be assessed by British Canoeing Assessors for the Paddlesport Instructor and Paddlesport Leadership Awards. If you already hold these qualifications arrangements will be made for you to work towards alternative or higher levels of qualification.
