Kayaking Pool Session #2

***TRIP IS NOW FULL – any further signups will go onto a waiting list in case people drop out***

Hey all, this is UNSWOC’s 2nd kayaking pool sessions for Term 1 2020.

If you’ve ever wanted to kayak down waterfalls, paddle Australia’s stunning whitewater rivers, or just give a new sport a try then these sessions are for you. Last session filled up super fast so make sure to sign up quick, and let me know why you’re keen to come along in your comment!

These are beginner training sessions to teach you the fundamentals of rolling a whitewater kayak as well as other basic skills. Rolling is a crucial skill in whitewater rapids to get you upright in the event you flip over while paddling. With these skills you’ll be able to attend the club’s awesome whitewater kayaking trips. Everything from trips to the Olympic facility in Penrith to the Snowy River Extreme Race in the Snowy Mountains.

Details:

• Tuesday 10th of March
• Meet at the gear cupboard at 6:20pm (Sam Cracknell Pavilion, ground floor village green side)
• We will carry the gear over to the pool for a 7pm start in the water
• Out of the water by 9pm and then carry gear back to the gear cupboard

What to bring:

• Swimmers
• Towel
• $5 cash for subsidised pool entry costs
• Goggles (optional)

NOTE: YOU MUST BE A COMPETENT SWIMMER TO ATTEND!

If you miss out on signup this time there’s more pool sessions scheduled for week 6 with potentially more to be added. If you have any questions feel free to message me (Bennett Frerck).

Let me know why you’re keen to come along and if you have any prior kayaking experience in the signup comment.
