Do you keep hours logged so I can do extra stuff over the summer with ICU and maybe do the L3's early next semester before the liffey descent?

Hey Paul,
we don't keep hours logged, but to apply for a L2 or L3 skills course you won't be asked for a log of hours paddled so that's ok!
The hours in the top post (10-20 for L2 and 80-100 for L3) are really just guidelines, the best way to get comfortable in a boat, develop skills and pass an assessment is by getting out on the water as much as you can.
If you're not able to come out regularly due to work it might be worth looking in to other places to kayak as well as with us, we have your Tuesday and Thursday nights covered as well as Saturdays but if other days in the week suit you better you could supplement with other courses (eg kayaking.ie, canoe.ie) some of them run courses of a specific length to get people to L2/L3.
Maryanne:
Have a read over the L2 syllabus / L3 syllabus before the pool sessions this week!
There should be plenty of people in to coach: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Aj2XcJ_-5TFIdHVxN3NaN2JZckc4dThqbEVnNFd3N3c#gid=0
And don't forget to sign up to this week's river trip (02/03/2013) http://forum.ucdcanoeclub.com/index.php/topic,11353.0.html

I'm interested in L3 training but Final Year is currently ruling my life so don't know how much time I can give to river trips and pool sessions anymore :o
