These sessions are a great way to practice skills and get confident doing wet exsits, support strokes, and learning to roll, or just have fun.

If you are planning on coming along please aim to be 15 minutes early, to help unload boats and bring them poolside.

If you need to borrow a boat please let me know with plenty of notice. If you are brining your own craft you need to make sure it is CLEAN. 

Cost:

Per session is £12 for an adult, £6 for Juniors (Coaches who are helping on the session get in for free)

Clothing/Equipment:

Goggles, nose clips, Spray Deck, Paddle, Scuba tanks are a good idea but not essential.

Please enure you are bringing appropriate clothing for the water, the pool gets cold over the winter even though it is heated so I would recomend a neoprene top.
