Love the water
Preferably you should be able to swim 50 metres fully clothed. Although
canoeing is carried out on the water and not in it, most people are
attracted to canoeing by a love of water.

Do I need to get into swimming first ?

You don't necessarily need to "get into" swimming, but, yeah, take the
time to learn how to swim better, as Kayaking is a water sport if
something happens and you capsize being able to swim, and being
comfortable being in the water is helpful, not to mention safer
for you and anyone with you.

It is especially important if you want to do any whitewater
kayaking or surf kayaking.
