Pool Session

Pool Session

Events: 13

The sessions are for members only and cost £5.00, this includes any equipment used.

Most people tend to wear board shorts and T Shirts in the pool, if you have
a nose clip this can help if you are practicing capsize and rolling.

Please note the following:

  • ONLY boats kept at the pool can be used. It is not longer possible to bring your own boats.

     

  • There are strict new rules concerning pool hygene - the current rules are here.

  • The pool is not huge and so we try to keep the number of active boats in the pool down to about 8 at a time

  • We encourage everyone to buddy up with someone and to swap around regularly (every 20 – 30 minutes) so that everyone gets a fair turn on the water. We do not enforce this at the moment, but please be aware of others and that we need to share the available resources.

  • No ‘seal launching’ (sliding in off the side). This is fun, but it also damages the tiles and the handrails at the pool. Please do not do this.
