Pool / Polo Come and Try Evening (and Swim Test) – Sem 1, 2026

Paddling on the pool. Paddling different boats is a great way to build your fitness and your paddle skills. Start of Semester is a good time to get into it – if you aren’t already. The paddle skills you learn and practice are good for all other disciplines. Try Canoe Polo boats. It is a great chance to complete your swim test if needed. We hire the pool once a semester for this, so please don’t miss out – member or not (it would be more but currently the pool hire is too costly to do more often).

Open to all members and Come and Try Paddlers who want to find out more.

Date: Monday 23rd February 2026
Time: 7:00 PM
Location: UQ Pool (Aquatic Centre).
Cost: $10 towards pool hire
