SEA YOU IN THE POOL
We are fortunate to have a large swimming pool to use during the winter months. This program allows you to bring your own kayaks into a warm, clean pool to practice and develop your skills. When it comes to capsizing a sea kayak there is a range of emotional and physical responses. This program is designed to allow you to explore the limitations of stability, build confidence and control, and most importantly how you will react when the kayak capsizes.
Join us in the pool to broaden your understanding of what can be done in a sea kayak and become more comfortable above and below the water.
PROGRAM AIMS
* Build confidence and control in your kayak while working on rescues
* Develop your roll under the guidance of our coaching team
* Learn the rolling progression
WHAT 2 EXPECT
During the 2-hour time slot

Bracing, Stability and recovery: Join us in the pool for a formal session on blade awareness, support strokes and preventing capsize in a comfortable, warm pool

We will be using the pool at the Rath Eastlink Community Center Pool in Truro. The aquatic facility boosts an 8 lane, 25m pool, plus a shallow area that we will use for rolling instruction.
