A
normal day begins once you have met your coach, who
is a qualified member of the British Canoe Union. Once
kited up with a buoyancy aid, helmet, paddle and of
course the kayak, your coach will take you through a
series of land based exercises, before getting on the
water. No, you don't need to do a capsize drill, kayaks
have moved on a long way and over the past few years,
boat designs have made boats more controllable and safer
to exit. You will spend the morning locally, learning
new skills and developing correct paddling techniques.
In the afternoon, the coaches will lead you on a short
expedition down river, to put your newly found skills
into practice. Throughout the day, the emphasis is placed
on safe, enjoyable fun through progressive teaching
and confidence building. |
