These sessions are for those that have already attended a taster session.
30 minute sessions (6.15pm to 6.45pm & 6.45pm to 7.15pm)
Boats, spraydecks and paddles will be provided.
If you’re bringing your own boat that’s fine, but make sure it is immaculately clean, inside and out, before you put it in the pool. One Leisure take a dim view of us dumping mud, gravel, leaves etc from our boats into the pool.
Be aware that the chlorinated water might discolour any material based paddling kit you use at the pool (i.e. Padding in the boat, Bouancy Aids, Spray Decks etc, so where possible recommend rinsing in the showers at the end or rinsing the padding of your boat at home with water.
What to wear:
- Swimming kit, a T-shirt or rash vest can be useful.
- Buoyancy aids are optional, while it is useful to practice rolling with a BA at least some of the time the water is chlorinated so if you’re using you favourite, newest BA give it a very good soak and rinse as soon as you get home. There are usually 1-2 old club buoyancy aids in the kit bag.
- If you’re practising rolling or rescues, googles and nose clips might be a good idea.
- If you’re going to spend a lot of time upside down or are prone to ear infections then swimming ear plugs might be for you.
- Don’t forget your towel.
