WHATS
ON …
Open session (1:6, max 12 on a session)
These sessions are ideal for those who have attended one of our coached sessions and just
require a bit of practice. There will be instructors there to offer tips and guidance but they operate
on a higher ratio than the coached sessions
Introduction to rescues (1:4, max 8 on a session)
Our introduction to rescues session will look at safe exits from the kayaks and different ways of
getting back into a kayak. We will also start to look at self rescues using other boats.
Improver rescues (1:4, max 8 on a session)
This improver course builds on from the intro course. It will start with looking at a variety of self
rescues and will then move onto peer rescues from boat to boat.
Introduction to rolling (1:4, max 8 on a session).
These sessions will introduce rolling and aim to give participants the foundations of a roll. Our
coaches will help you understand your body and paddle positioning as well as the body motion of
a roll.
Improver rolling (1:4, max 8 on a session).
Our improver sessions build on the techniques learnt in the intro session. We will use a variety of
methods including video coaching to develop participants roll and problem solve any barriers in
the technique.
Support stokes (high brace, low brace & sculling for support) (1:4, max 8 on a session)
These sessions will introduce and develop kayak support strokes. These strokes are used to help
us prevent capsizes so are ideal to practice in the pool environment as we find the warmer
environment helps people fully commit to the stroke.
Comfy Capsize (1:4, max 8 on a session)
This session is perfect for those people who are really nervous about exiting a kayak or wearing a
spray deck. We will work through a series of exercises designed to improve your confidence
about exiting a kayak.
