Pool Sessions – January 2012

We have booked some pool sessions at Leighton Park School Pool:

Sun 8th = 6.30pm to 8.30pm – Adults & Coaches
Sat 14th = 4.30pm to 6.30pm – Juniors & Coaches
Sun 22nd = 6.30pm to 8.30pm – Juniors & Coaches
Sat 28th = 4.30pm to 6.30pm – Adults & Coaches

Try something a bit different to start with, each group can alternate between the Saturday and Sunday and therefore the times. (these were all that were available).
Because we have use of the building for the 2 hours each session, each group (adult/juniors) will get approximately 1hr 20mins per session, then allow the coaches to have a play should they wish, put the boats etc away and out of the building at the end of the session.
To provide some structure to the sessions it has been suggested to focus on those that need the coaching for the following;
Correct capsize with a spray deck
Low support strokes
High Support strokes
Sculling fior support
Rolling

Polo games can be built into the session if people would like or other games.
At this moment a cost of £6.00 per session will be charged, however if we are just not covering our costs we could consider an ‘open to all’ on each session or increasing the costs.
Does anyone who holds a current National Pool Life Guard Award able to help provide the Life Guard cover we now need for these pool sessions please contact me.
Coaches or other competent people who would like to be involved with the running of these sessions please contact me.
If you have any ideas for location for paddling trips please let me know. A draft programme has been put together, changes can easily be made and then hopefully it will be out soon.

Happy paddling
