The baths sessions have started again. They will be run on a very similar basis to last year, with a few minor changes.
There will be 3 beginners courses, 4 rollers courses and 1 course exclusively for the Junior slalom squad and their parents. All courses need to be booked and paid for in advance.
Whilst there are courses running, there is space in the baths which is usually available for people to come and use and do their own thing (down as General). Not during the 1st session when the Junior squad course is running.
The times are staying the same -
Sunday evenings
The sessions for general use are pre-bookable & I would advise booking as last year we were full almost every week & I will turn people away.
Any bookings with more than 3 people must also pay in advance. If you book & don't turn up or don't cancel (or cancel too often - twice), I won't take any more bookings from you & you can take your chances turning up to see if there are any places left, or you can pre-pay when you book.
Double sessions are not available anymore(you can always book 2 sessions if you want the time). We have changed the pricing structure to make the baths better value for members - cheaper !!!! (also to get rid of those annoying 50 pences).
| Prices | |
|---|---|
| Beginners Course | £40 |
| Rollers Course | £35 (Members only) |
| Junior Squad | (1/2 price courses) |
| One Session | £3.00 |
| Non Member Extra | £2.00 |
| Boat Hire Extra | £1.00 |
The beginners and rolling courses include cost for the sessions, instruction & boat hire if needed. The rescue session is a basic cost for the session - boat and non member fee would be on top if required. The general sessions are for people to work on their own skills, there may be people around to ask for pointers, but there is no set instructor to work with people.
Anyone wanting to help out with instructing, please contact me. We need people to:
If you want to gain experience of coaching, it is an ideal place to start in the baths assisting the coach in charge - they will direct you and I can set up a mentoring system if anyone wants it. I would like to be able to produce a rota for the coaching so please contact me if you want to help - we can't do it all ourselves!!!

Beginners courses loosely follow the BCU one & some of the 2* award, although you can't be assessed in the pool we offer a follow on courses with further training & assessment. These courses are suitable for anyone with limited experience or those new to paddling. (Max 10 places).
Booking form for the beginner's course
Rollers courses are suitable for those beyond 2* standard, to get the maximum benefit from the course, you need to have a good hip-flick and to be water confident. (Max 8 places).
