I'm planning a session at Simpsons Pool to practice deep water rescues. Simpsons Pool/Pond/Lake (you decide) is clean, it doesn't recieve any sewage overflow, and so is a perfect venue for us to swim next to our boats!
I thought we could practice or learn for the first time self and peer rescue and anything new people would like to try.
I'm putting this out to all craft (including raft)
It's a great venue to get wet next to your car pretty close to home and practice most aspects of you paddling without having to worry about the long journey home or getting ill from sewage.
The venue is recently available to us and I will likely put some more of these on across the rest of winter. Arthog have overall responcibility for the site and are allowing us access, we have agreed a cost of £4 per paddler for a session and that money will go straight to Arthog from the club for the benifit of the children they work with.
Parking is limited so car sharing would be ideal, I'll keep the session open to 10 applicants, but the venue won't take ten cars...
As great as the venue is the water is colder than the river and than the sea, so approprait clothing is important. Thick wet suit or a dry suit I would say. I will buy myself an extra thick rubber swimming hat after posting this.
