I'm seeing about organising a bit of a training weekend just for us
girls in the New Year. We have some
fantastic instructors lined up including Kim Siekerman
, who have agreed to run the course so I just need to know how many people would be interested in doing it and when would suit everyone.
It's looking like a
2 day course, doing some
river skills training with some emphasis on
rescue and rescue set up, plus maybe a day of
freestyle. We'll concentrate on the ways girls tend to paddle differently from guys, with slightly different techniques and problems and such. This should be good also for the varsities, as this is why it was initially proposed, to help build up a stronger female competition. It's going to be fun anyway!
We are aiming it at around level 3 upwards, but this can be tailored up or down depending on who's interested!
So let me know here if you are interested!
