No Marathon Saturday 22nd
There is NO TRAINING this Saturday 22nd. We’ll let you know about Tuesday 25th soon, otherwise training recommences 1st September
Winter Pool
Our winter pool season starts on Saturday 3rd October. These are for kayak only and are great for perfecting you capsize technique and learning some rescue skills. We do paddling skills as well and they are great sessions for beginners.
Keep a lookout for the date when bookings open.
Freestyle Coach
One of our coaches, Neil Marley, is well on his way to becoming a PaddleUK qualified Freestyle coach (aka playboating). Neil has recently attended the Youth Freestyle Academy in Nottingham, assisting some of the best freestyle coaches in the world teach the next generation of freestyle youngsters. Last year our own youth Owen Edwards attended and next year we want to send someone else!
Watch out for more news on Neil’s week at Nottingham, and how you can get started in freestyle.
