Swimming pools offer a superb resource for paddlers to develop skills and experience in a comfortable and safe environment. This British Canoeing Awarding Body document provides guidance for paddlers and pool managers.
Pool sessions can maximise opportunities for experiencing our sports diversity,
overcoming fears of capsize, learning to paddle, developing water confidence,
improving boat handling skills, raising awareness of general safety procedures
and also specific rescue practice, all in a safe and controlled environment.
