Fridays 8pm-9pm from October to November and from February to March at Frome Sports Centre. Cost Members £3 Adult, £2.50 Youth, Non-Members £6 Adult, £5 Youth.
You need to bring swimming costume and towel. We provide all the kayaking kit.
Our pool sessions are generally quite informal. Some people use the sessions as a good way to get started. Others practise rolling and some practise playboating moves.
We use the large pool for kayaking. We allow a maximum of 16 boats at any one time. The small pool can be used when you are not paddling.
People who can help you:
The Supervisor for the session is in the yellow T-shirt. He or she will help you to get a boat and the kit that you need. If you need any help during the session ask the Supervisor.
The Instructor for the session wears a green T-shirt. He or she is there to coach paddlers and will help you if you go up and ask. The Instructor will spend a little time with you, teaching you a technique or paddling stroke so that you can go off to practise it.
The Sports Centre Lifeguards. They take responsibility for everyone’s safety.
How the session works:
- We divide up the session into smaller time slots (15 or 20 minutes).
- You get a coloured band when you pay and this tells you the slot you are to paddle in.
- Wear the band on your arm.
- Listen out for the whistle and the Supervisor will tell you what colour band is on the water.
- You will have a 15 – 20 minute slot depending on how busy we are. And if we are quiet, you may get more than one slot.
