Over the winter the club has ran two blocks of six evening sessions for the beginners to canoeing.  The sessions ran in the swimming pool at the Education Village in Darlington so it was a great chance to learn the strokes and practice some rescue techniques in the warmth!  A few of the more experienced paddlers also took the opportunity to practice their rolling skills.  It was a great opportunity for some of the younger paddlers (and not so young!) to increase their confidence in the relative comfort of the pool before this season’s races start.  We even got our youngest paddler giving it a go – Ella, aged 2 (pictured with her Dad Brian).

Thanks go to Darren and all those who came along to help out with coaching.
