Pool Skills night III

General club skills session in the “NEW” UQ Pool. One of three skills nights for the semester. Don’t miss out! HEATED POOL (27 deg.)

Date: Tuesday, 20 Mar 2012
Time: 7:45 PM to 9:30 PM
Cost: $7.50 (UQCC members only on this night)
Location: University of Queensland Pool (UQ Building 27 or picture)
Purpose: Training, general skills development, polo games, skill building competitions, & fun.
Bring: A towel and something warm for later – you will get wet.

Pool training is ideal for new members. It complements basic training sessions on the river, and is strongly recommended for anyone planning to take part in the whitewater events. It is also the best introduction for those wanting to start playing canoe polo.

Don’t be put off because a particular type of training session doesn’t appear to suit the kayak discipline that interests you. Learning to handle kayaks and water conditions used in other disciplines helps build skills that may be harder to learn in your main discipline. These skills pay off no matter what kind of kayaking you do.

The UQ pool has just recently reopened after being almost completely rebuilt following the 2011 Brisbane Floods. This is a chance to experience the new venue.

The complete Pool training schedule is listed here.
