We are starting to organise our usual weekly training sessions in the pool at Brecon Leisure Centre on Monday evenings (7-9pm), from 5th September. To help us plan these sessions we need to know how many of you are interested in:
- Canoe Polo Training – if we get enough participants, this will take place every other week. This is a great way to develop your paddling skills as well as learning an exciting team game (think 5-a-side rugby in kayaks!). Suitable for anyone aged 11+ who can control a kayak and is confident capsizing (and who fits in our polo boats!), we ideally need 12 participants to cover the cost of pool hire. We currently have 8 people interested (Daniel, Dave J, Mike S, Natalie, Olly C, Pete M, Steve & Tanya) so we really do need a few more!
- General Skills Training – this will other take place every other week (if polo training goes ahead) or every week, and will include:
- Introductory kayaking for beginners;
- ‘Wet skills’ for developing kayakers – covering capsize confidence, recovery strokes and rescues; and
- Rolling clinics to learn, improve or practise the art of kayak rolling.
Sessions will cost £9 if block-booked in advance (4 sessions for £36, no refunds for missing sessions) – or £13 for individual sessions (with priority given to those who block-book).
So, if you’re interested in any of the above, please drop us an e-mail NOW so we can start to put a plan together.
Thanks!
