Pool Sessions 23

edited April 2023 in Club Activity: Summer Coaching and Pool Sessions

Dear All,

I am pleased to say that the pool at the St Lukes Campus in Exeter, have agreed to accommodate us again on Friday evenings, on 7th, 14th, 21 & 28th of April from 19:30 - 20:30

As soon as the dates are confirmed, I will send out an email, and you will be able to book through web collect.

Pool sessions are ideal for learning to roll

Subject to availability of coaches, we will provide some guidance and help setting people up to practise rolling. Coaches will be standing in the pool, guiding paddles and helping boats upright if needed.

Pool sessions this year will be suitable for paddlers that are already comfortable capsizing and pulling their spraydecks off.

We have the pool for 1 hour and will have 6 pool owned boats, so will be able to accommodate 6 people for about 45minutes in the pool, giving 15minutes for setup and clear down.

Please wear swim wear rather than the usual kayaking attire, buoyancy aids won't be necessary, and anything you do bring, please ensure is thoroughly cleaned and free of any sand.

Duncan

Please find the link to the tickets on web collect below, when available.

    I have a problem with chlorine in swimming pools. Do we know if the St Lukes Pool uses less than Northbrook?

  • d9walld9wall

    Hi Pete, Northbrook is a no longer an option unfortunately, as it shuts at 3.30 and won't open later, and since reopening after the lock down, didn't seem overly accommodating. I'll try and find out the chlorine levels for you. But having contacted every pool in the area, St Lukes is the only one that agreed to having us.

    Yes interested. Firstly for myself and my son, then once things are settled down I'd like to start bringing a few 8 to 14 year olds / doing family sessions. if that's possible? Yep I definitely have plenty of ideas for these sessions!!!

    Hi Shelley, I think we should get a few session under our belt with members first, so we can form a relationship with the new pool.. We'll have to have a chat with Jane about this, but sounds great.

  • Pete_CPete_C

    Hi Duncan, from what people told me, Northbrook was heavily chlorinated so I’m hoping St Lukes will be better. How do the sessions work? Do we share a few club boats?

    Thankyou so much for such an amazing response.. We are in the process of finalising the booking with St Lukes, and I need to chat to the coaches before the bookings are posted on Webcollect, and the finer logistical details are announced.
