Details:
During this pool clinic the goal is to have you gain more confidence in edging your kayak as you learn the theory and practice using your body, boat and blade. And as you start to “trust your paddle” with bracing, this will reduce your chances of capsizing.





We will assume that you are comfortable doing a wet exit and being assisted with re-entry, as when we push the envelope when practicing, sometimes we will capsize.





If you have any questions, please contact Jennie Sutton at jlsutton50@gmail.com

Note
Equipment: Bring your kayak, paddle, spray skirt, and PFD. A wet suit is optional especially if you tend to get cold. Also optional is a dive mask or nose plugs.
Please pay special attention to the following points:
  - do not park on the road at the back of the pool although it's fine to drop off and pick up kayaks from there;
  - you must wash your kayak at home or outside the building before bring it into the pool
  - form a human chain with others: people outside pass kayaks to barefooted people inside;
  - everyone out of the pool by 2030 and everything out of the building & compound by 2045
