Come to our pool sessions to learn or practice all of those manoeuvres where you\'ll either likely or intentionally get wet, in the warmth and comfort of a brand new indoor swimming pool! Pool sessions are often used to learn and/or practice rolling a kayak, but they\'re also great to practice other things, like support strokes (low-brace, high-brace, sculling) and self rescue. Try climbing back into your kayak unaided, or with a paddle float or even try standing up!
If you\'ve never rolled a kayak before, you can come along and learn from experienced rollers in the club. If you can already roll but it\'s not very reliable, come and practice and get tips from the experts. If you\'re already an expert, don\'t forget about rolling the other side or any of the other 40+ different rolling techniques! There will also be at least one qualified instructor present every week plus other experienced paddlers to assist.
After the pool session each week, we\'ll meet up in The Club (pub), Dalkey for a bit of socialising.
When and where
5th Jan - 30th March 2010. That\'s Tuesday evenings, 8pm until 9pm.
Castlepark School, Castlepark Road, Dalkey. (300m from Bullock Harbour!)
Cost
€25 for ECSKC members, €45 for non-members! This recession-busting offer is a flat rate giving access for all 12 weeks! Non-members are welcome too, but the members rate is heavily subsidised by East Coast Sea Kayaking Club. Alternatively you can join the club for €20 (application forms can be found by following East Coast link). Please book your pool place with Gavan Sheridan. Places are limited! Please send cheques, payable to East Coast Sea Kayaking Club, to Gavan Sheridan, 49 Wyattville Close, Ballybrack, Co. Dublin and write your ICU membership number on the back.
Terms
1. All users must be members of the Irish Canoe Union, for insurance reasons. Individual membership costs €20.
2. Bring your own boat, clean! The two club boats (etc) will be available free of charge, but priority will be given to those who don\'t own one.
3. Unused weeks are not transferrable between individuals. We think the price is extremely competitive even if you don\'t use all of the 12 weeks. We couldn\'t hold this price if we allowed transfers.
4. Depending on numbers participating, you might not get a whole hour in the pool each week.
5. The club exists and benefits enormously from the generosity of experienced paddlers assisting the inexperienced so that they learn and in time may give back to the club. If you have the capability to assist others to learn, please give a part of your time in the pool each week to helping others.
