Pool Session #1

***EVENT FULL: Last spot is to act as a waiting list should we have any drop outs***

That’s right. They’re back. The fabled UNSWOC Kayak Pool Sessions!

For those new to pool sessions, this is the place to be to learn the fundamentals of paddling, specifically rolling a whitewater kayak.

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. These sessions usually fill 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 training facility in Penrith to the Snowy River Extreme Race in the Snowy Mountains.

• Meet at the gear cupboard at 6:30pm (Sam Cracknell Pavilion, ground floor village green side)
• We will carry the gear over to the pool for a 7pm start in the water
