About this event
She Paddles Level 1: Geelong 2 gives beginners another Saturday pathway into kayaking at West Fyans Street Boat Ramp. The course is part of Outside Adventures' women-only She Paddles program, created to help new paddlers build skills, confidence and social connection on the water.
Five Saturday Sessions
This Newtown series runs on Saturdays from 14 November to 12 December 2026, 9:00am to 10:30am. Each class is 90 minutes and focuses on calm, enclosed flat-water paddling from the Geelong meeting location.
What You Learn
Level 1 covers foundational kayaking skills, including basic paddle strokes, boat control, safety awareness and managing common risks in calm water environments. It is intended for complete novices and people who would like a supported re-entry to kayaking.
Supportive Women-Only Format
The She Paddles classes are led by female instructors and are open to women and non-binary participants aged 18 and over. The organiser highlights a friendly, inclusive format where beginners can learn alongside others who are also starting out.
Inclusions and Price
The course costs $289 for the five-session series. Kayaks, paddles, helmets and PFDs are provided during sessions. Participants should wear clothes and closed-toe shoes that can get wet, and bring water, a towel, a warm layer, a change of clothes and any personal medication.
Before You Book
Bookings are handled by Outside Adventures. The organiser may postpone, adjust or move sessions when weather or water conditions are not suitable for kayaking, with changes communicated to participants.
