Make Sure Child Can Swim A Mile
Posted by: clydehedlund on Mar-18-13 4:46 PM (EST)

With or without a pfd. Kids learn faster if they have companions their own age or a little older. It really doesn't matter about the type of kayak, for as long as it floats, kids will improvise. So get a variety of crafts, and paddles and let the kids have at it. Facilitate, but don't get in their way.
