Club members have regular pool sessions
in winter months which are open to potential members.
These sessions are great for beginners.
People often worry about if they can get out of
a kayak if they turn over - its actually not hard. It takes about 6 seconds.
The cockpits are large and easy to get out of.
In the pool you can do your first capsize in warm water - luxury!
An instructor stands right beside you to make you feel as safe as
possible and can intervene (but actually this is never necessary).
We generally have a pool session once a
month for the winter months only, usually on a saturday when our
favourite pool (Brixham) can most easily fit us into their
schedule.. A great time way to join our club is by coming along to one of
these sessions before the summer gets going, we especially encourage this. More experienced paddlers also love pool sessions
for practicing advanced skills, and its also a great opportunity for
general messing about.
