Pool Sessions

Pool Sessions are run during winter months, please see the river sessions page

Our sessions are  held are the Robert Gordons College (Schoolhill Entrance) in a heated pool.  Please check out our calendar page for exact dates and times. Open to all ages and family friendly. 

Session Information

We store equipment in the pool so all you require is swimming gear and towel (goggles and nose plug optional). Arrive at 18:15 to organise equipment. 

Pool sessions are a safe environment to learn different essential skills for kayaking such as; basic paddling, capsizing, wet exits, rolling and more. There will be multiple experienced paddlers there to assist with any of these skills. The pool is invaluable for teaching skills and learning to be safe and ready for the river. 

For the more experienced paddlers, there are options with playboats, doing tricks, learning different rolls. 

We charge a small fee to help maintain our equipment:

• £10 for non members attending the sessions

• £7 for members attending the sessions

All members accept that they may be required to prove confidence and ability in water through swim tests and capsize drills prior to undertaking extended trips or trips on open water.
