Come and try kayaking!!

https://www.thesubath .com/events/6202/23206/

Welcome to kayaking!!!

We&rsquo\;re the best sports club in Bath (even if we do say so ourselves!). While we spend plenty of time doing exciting th ings like whitewater kayaking and canoe polo tournaments around the count ry\, we also spend lots of time learning and practising skills in the nic e\, warm university pool.

So\, how can you get involved?

This pool taster session is for women and non-binary people who want to come and try kayaking in a relaxed\, friendl y environment.

Kayaking has historically been quite male-dominated\ , and we&rsquo\;re working to change that - just look at our committee! A s a club\, we run regular women&rsquo\;s and non-binary pool sess ions\, giving you the chance to learn new skills\, get more focu sed support\, and have a good chat about all things kayaking (and life!) in a welcoming atmosphere.

We&rsquo\;re also building a portfolio o f female river and whitewater leaders\, so there will be opportunities throughout the year to join focused trips and develop your skills further. And\, of course\, you&rsquo\;re always welcome to join o ur usual club sessions\, trips and socials too!

What to exp ect

All abilities welcome - wheth er you&rsquo\;ve never been in a kayak before or have paddled for years.< /p>
Taster sessions are held in the university pool in the STV throughout Freshers&rsquo\; Week and the following two weeks.
Bring a swimming costume\, shorts and T-shi rt to wear in the pool\, plus a towel and change of clot hes for afterwards.
Meet outside the STV entrance 15 minutes before your session - look out for the paddl es!
Before getting in a kayak\, the university requires ev eryone to complete a swim test. We&rsquo\;ll run this at the start of the pool taster session. You&rsquo\;ll need to:
- Swim two lengths of the pool (100m total)
- Tread water for 5 minutes
- Cli mb out of the pool unassisted

Want to know more?
