About

Pool sessions are an ideal opportunity for club members to practice rolling and other skills in warm clean water. A selection of boats, paddles and spraydecks are available at the pool. If you wish to use your own equipment, please note the rules below. If you are a L3 coach and would like to volunteer to be the lifesaver, please contact the club secretary. The sessions cannot go ahead without your kind support.

The Rules

Each session must have a BCU Level 3 Coach to act as lifeguard. This coach must not take part in the pool activities and must be there purely as a lifesaver.

All boats coming in to the pool must be thoroughly washed outside the pool entrance paying particular attention to debris, which will be trapped between boat and airbags. Last year the boat cleanliness was pretty good – thank you. The pool pumping system and filtration plant need to have a fighting chance so please don’t screw this up? No leaves please.

The total number of boats on the pool is limited to a maximum of fifteen although for some activities a lower number would be more desirable.

The use of balls to play games of any sort is not permitted.

Please be careful and ensure that boats are handled with care by people who are big enough especially in the area next to the window where the KCC boats are hung.

Outdoor shoes are not allowed on the poolside.
