paddler
One stroking water
A paddler is someone who paddles—propelling a canoe, kayak, or similar watercraft with a paddle rather than oars or a motor: The paddlers navigated the rapids skillfully.
In casual use, a paddler may simply be someone wading or splashing in shallow water, especially a child at the beach.
