from Grassroots...


Junior Paddlesport - Isle of Man


Moments from our Junior Paddlesport program training sessions in January, at Western Swimming Pool, Peel (just captured a selection of the folk on the program)


 Juniors progress through our skills development pathway, specifically designed for grassroots paddlesport on the Isle of Man.
  

 Through paddlesport, students also learn essential life skills; Agility, Balance and Coordination, Real Risk Management, Water Safety & Awareness, Confidence, Resilience, Responsibility, Teamwork, Journeying... the foundations of Leadership and informed Decision Making.


 We're back in the pool from Saturday 4th March, for both adults and junior paddlesport courses.


Catch you on the water soon!

Chicken Rock

Sea Kayaking with the Adventure Club 


Setting out from Port Erin beach this morning, in bright sunshine, stunning!!
Its a terrific accolade to the dedication Adventure Club members have put into sea kayak training through the winter, when we can specify on the Friday a paddle to Chicken Rock in the regular Sunday morning session (in February).


 A really great day on the water, with a team of people who really appreciate making the most of the conditions and the skills of those around them.

 Running out past the old lighthouses on the Calf of Man, using the early flood tide to assist us, and team work landing on Chicken Rock itself : ) After a break in the sunshine, watching the seals swimming around, and taking some pics, the group launched and moved off in smaller units, each led by an experienced coach.


We are very fortunate to have such a spectrum of experience, led by people who really have the needs of their fellow paddlers at the heart of their decision making.
Looking forward another year of Unforgettable Adventurous Experiences on the Isle of Man!


Catch you on the water soon

ps. thanks for the photo Nick!
