Police warned people to check the weather forecast and ensure they have the correct safety equipment before venturing on to the water after a series of recent incidents.
Assistant Chief Constable Mark Williams said: "We're urging anybody taking part in outdoor water-based activities to take safety messages seriously and check weather conditions before you set out.
"The weather and water conditions can change really quickly and even the most skilled of kayakers can get into difficulties.
"With many stretches of water located in remote areas, help will often be some time away, so it's important to ensure you have the knowledge and equipment to deal with all eventualities.''
