It will be COLD so you need a wetsuit, and some thermal layers over the top, and a windproof cagoule or similar.  And bring some food and drink you can carry in the boat.

Pool sessions on Thursdays 

 

Only people with bands are allowed to paddle. We are limited to the number of boats we can have in the pool (a stipulation by the leisure centre), so if you come late you probably won't get a boat. Please check with me or the lifeguard BEFORE you get changed to see if there is any space available. If there isn't space, you can try to persuade a mate who has a band to share their boat, but the negotiations are down to you.

 

If you bring your own boat it must be CLEAN (inside as well as out - no mud, sand, dead leaves etc.), and have padding front and back.

 

We've been asked by the swimming team who are in the pool before us that we don't go out on the pool side until they are finished.  Please stay in the changing rooms until they start to pack up.

 

Also - if you want to join in with the public swim after our pool session - you need to pay in advance at reception.

 

Cheers,

 

Steve
