Kayaking Pool Session #1

***TRIP IS NOW FULL, the last spot is to act as a waiting list in case people drop out***

Hey All. Welcome to UNSWOC’s 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.

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 25th of February
• 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
• 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!
