\nKayaking is a spor t involving sitting within a closed boat and using a paddle with blades o n both ends to navigate. This will be a kayaking taster session based in the university pool. \;
The session will run from 9-10 pm\, meeting at 8:45 outside the STV entrance so we can walk as a group t o the pool changing rooms. We will have people outside the STV entrance u ntil just after 9pm for any latecomers but ideally we need to be poolside by about 9:05pm. \;
Participants should bring a swimm ing costume\, shorts and tshirt that they are happy to wear in the univer sity pool\, and a towel and change of clothes for afterwards. They will h ave to do the SU mandated swim test if they haven't done it \;before \, before they can get in a kayak. This involves swimming two full length s of the pool in under 5 minutes\, treading water for 5 minutes and then climbing out un-aided onto the high side of the pool. After they have com pleted this\, we will help them get into the kayaks\, get used to them an d then play some games. \;
It's a very chilled session \, we will have lots of coaches and people to help and absolutely no expe rience is required !
