Pool sessions start this Saturday (15th November)
An important part of the club’s winter training programme gets underway this Saturday when we start the first block of pool sessions. This is the first six-week block (we hope to run two further six-week blocks after Christmas) with each one being comprised of three one-hour sessions.
Group 1 - 16:00 to 17:00 hrs. Basic paddling skills and building confidence on the water. Requirements: Able to swim 50 metres and not mind getting wet.
Group 2 - 17:00 to 18:00 hrs. Intermediate - this will be a skills developement session with some work on specific paddling skills (where getting wet is a strong possibility such as bracing and support strokes) plus a strong emphasis on safety and rescue skills.
Group 3 - 18:00 to 19:00 hrs. Advanced - skills imporvement and rolling.
As of last weekend the middle session was fully booked but with a few spaces available on teh beginners and advanced courses. If you are interseted please contact Nigel Butler who is organising this year’s sessions.
Just to remind you, swimwear and t-shirts are appropriate clothing, you will be expected to wear a helmet (provided) and we’ll be using the boats which are kept at the pool (BATs).
