Rolling Clinic
We generally run these on a 1-1 basis over the summer months
in Porthleven Harbour over 1.5 hours £35.00. Whilst we cannot guarantee
you will be rolling at the end of this session we do have
a good success rate.
During the winter we also put on a number of pool sessions
where we have approximately ten people in the pool and a number
of assistances coaching wet skills such as high braces sculling
for support and rolling.
Basic journey planning
For this we will look at:
- Basic map and navigation work,
- Considerations of who to inform and when,
- Safe routes and route planning,
- Tidal flows
- Equipment that you should carry on your journey.
This can either is run as a land based session for a couple
of hours or a full day including a journey putting things
into practice.
Safety and rescue techniques
These can run over half a day. The main emphasis of this
will be based on deep water rescues and towing
methods with a look at some of the emergency equipment
that is available (minimum of two people)
For those interested in certification, Waterborne are now able to provide the new B.C.U. Foundation Safety and Rescue Training this can be run over one day see courses for details.
