Come join us at the pool!
Clean warm water gives us the opportunity to practice our skills in a safe, controlled environment before we head out on the river and out to sea.
It’s a chance to build skills and increase confidence in the boat. From practicing getting in and out of the boat alongside the pontoon, improving paddle skills, capsize.rescues and recoveries or building up to self rescues and rolling.
We now have a variety of craft available at the pool to allow us to practice skills in multiple craft groups. Small white water, touring and polo boats are great to start in. We have recently added a sea kayak and open canoe to allow practice in all types of craft.
We ask new members to complete a pool session before heading out onto the Thames to ensure that you know what to do in the event of a capsize. However, it is good practice to attend regular pool sessions to improve skills and prepare for an emergency.
The pool sessions are fun and a great opportunity to mix in a relaxed environment. We often head to the pub afterwards.
Come join us!
