Our next planned pool session
is 5th June 2010, Saturday, time 1.00pm
- 2.30pm
Club members have regular pool sessions
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, and also in the summer as well sometimes, usually on a saturday when our
favourite pool (Brixham) can most easily fit us into their schedule. More experienced paddlers also love pool sessions
for practicing advanced skills, and its also a great opportunity for
general messing about.
