Adaptive Kayaking

Adaptive Kayaking takes place at 2 locations: Knoxville and our newest program in Atlanta.

Our kayak instructors are trained in ACA Adaptive Paddling and have the ability to adapt the kayaks with additional equipment to accommodate a variety of needs.

To take part in our adaptive kayaking program we require kayakers to meet the following ACA Essential Eligibility Criteria:

Breathe independently (i.e., not require medical devices to sustain breathing)

Independently maintain sealed airway passages while under water

Independently hold head upright without neck / head support

Manage personal care independently or with assistance of a companion

Manage personal mobility independently or with a reasonable amount of assistance

Follow instructions and effectively communicate independently or with assistance of a companion

Please visit the location nearest you to register for adaptive kayaking.
