Yip mad. I used to do a bit of serious whitewater when I was younger as well. Age and sense sorted that out though.
A Pic of yours truly in action

I lost a canoe once in whitewater. Capsized, got out, canoe got swept away. I couldn't swim so didn't try saving it. Instructor unimpressed.

Looks a pretty good workout

Is it common for non swimmers to canoe/kayak?

Tried both when young at school, always been interested in getting one since, but my lack of swimming ability has always put me off, even with a buoyancy aid.

Not lost any myself but put plenty of holes in them... used to teach at Cardington years ago when they used upside down fiberglass tubs held down by turnbuckes, in to eyes in the floor... and they used to punch nice holes in the bottom of the boat..

Then Holme Perpoint and Teeside came along.....

I had a fully converted kayak for sea fishing in the bristol channel but when my dive reel anchor got stuck off Penarth beach it was a proper brown pants moment. I sold it afterwards. Wasnt worth the risk.

I'm a BCU level one paddlesport coach and I cant swim. I do have a very good buoyancy aid that helps me move about on the surface of the water quite well

Not sure how the first kayaker is going to get out the river.
