Swimming Pool sessions (September - April)

During the months of September through April, general coaching sessions are held at Austin Rawlinson pool (see directions to pool) on various week nights with the following schedule:

Wednesdays (starting 30th Sept 2009):
7-8pm - Beginners coaching and general "improvers" session
8-9pm - Intermediate paddlers; individual paddling.

Tuesdays (starting 29th Sept 2009):
8-9pm - Canoe polo, beginner to intermediate

Mondays (starting 2nd Nov 2009):
8-9pm - Canoe polo, seniors.

We provide kayaks, paddles, bouyancy aids and spray decks at all venues. Please arrive 15 minutes before your session starts (to help organise boats and equipment) - this maximises your pool time.

Remember to bring a towel and swimsuit/t-shirt. For pool sessions there is also small charge made to cover pool hire. Currently this is £3.50 per person. If more than one of the family attends a session reduced rates apply for second, £3.00 and £2.50 for third member.

Polo coaching sessions are held at the pool on Monday (for experienced players) and Tuesday evenings (for novice / less experienced players) during the same months. All coaches hold Enhanced CRB Declarations in accordance with the recommendations of the BCU.

Open Water Sessions, Queens Dock (May - September)

During the months of May through September, coaching sessions move to our base at Liverpool Watersports Centre, Queens Dock (see directions to watersports centre). The centre is equipped with changing rooms, lockers (bring 20p), warm showers and car parking.

General coaching sessions occur at Queens Dock on Wednesday evenings from 18:30 - just ask for one of our friendly coaches. Please bring along a towel along with clothes and shoes to get wet, eg. a t-shirt, tracksuit bottoms and some old trainers.

Polo coaching and games sessions are held throughout the year at our purpose built polo facility adjacent to the watersports centre.

Subject to agreed safety and supervision criteria, qualified club members may use the centre and paddle in Liverpool's south docks at specified times on six days per week throughout the year.
