Coached Pool sessions - Winter 2019/20
This winter the Club is offering 5 week blocks of coached sessions in the pool. There will be 6 places for adults wanting to learn to roll and 8 places for children in each block.
In each case there will be two blocks before Christmas and two blocks after Christmas.
The pool is booked from 9.15pm until 10.30pm with the coached session lasting from 9.15pm until 10pm. At this point, we will ask the children to leave the pool and get changed. The remaining time is for free practice, both for coaches and anyone who wants to continue to practice/experiment on their own or with their peers.
We suggest that members arrive at the latest by 9.00pm in order to select a kayak and paddle that suits, check in with the co-ordinating coach/committee member - and be ready at the poolside for 9.15pm. Please note that left handed paddles are available if required, but may have been put aside, so do ask the co-ordinating coach/committee member. Coaches are identifiable by the red tops they wear. Coaches may also be assisted by experienced paddlers who do not have a coaching qualification. Please note that if you have any medical condition that may be relevant, it is your responsibility to let a coach know.

Bookings for children and adults will need to be made separately - but you can make more than one adult or child booking at a time.
