New fees: Adult members £4, junior members £3. 

               Adult non-members £5, junior non-members £4.

We provide boats and kit. Ideally you should have a wetsuit, but you can get by with some old clothes/trainers you don't mind getting wet. A nylon cagoule, running top or similar is advisable over the top to keep the wind off. And bring some food and drink you can carry in the boat.

Pool Sessions

Kippax Leisure Centre on Wednesdays 7.45 - 9.00 . Meet in the car park at ~7.30p.m. (or in the foyer if wet).

http://www.leeds.gov.uk/page.aspx?pageidentifier=4491D1A4F3A5D70B80256E1A003B9716 <http://www.leeds.gov.uk/page.aspx?pageidentifier=4491D1A4F3A5D70B80256E1A003B9716> 

There is no storage for pool boats so we will have to take boats up there and back to the clubhouse each week. We can get boats onto the pool side using double fire doors at the end of the pool that open directly onto the car park. So if you are taking your own boat don't try and take it through the foyer, leave it on your car until we get organized. Please ensure all boats are scrupulously clean and securely padded.  No outdoor shoes on poolside please. Pass boats in through the fire doors and then walk around the outside to get to the changing rooms through the foyer, NOT via the poolside.

Kippax is a bit out of the way, but it has a larger pool and we get a longer session, so come and give it a try.

Cheers,

 

Steve
