In 2023 I was brought out to help close a whitewater preserve for the winter. Got a taste of paddling in current and learned to swim. Come 2024 I got myself a entry level creak boat. Spent the summer learning how to paddle in a kayak and attempting to have successful rolls. Lots of swimming has happened with no successful rolls so far. A wrist injury has kept me out of the water for the end of summer into the fall. I enjoyed my time on the water greatly and looking forward to getting back out there.
