The organised club paddles have all but finished for the season. However, if the weather is suitable a few of us will continue to paddle throughout the winter at weekends. Watch out for an email, text, phone call or news flash on the website to say a paddle is being organised. In the meantime we have organised a series of pool training sessions where you can learn new skills or refine your technique in the warm water of Kirkwall Swimming Pool. These sessions will take place on Tuesday evenings beginning 11 November from 8.30 - 9.30 pm. There will be at least two instructors at each session and the cost will be £4, payable weekly. All equipment will be provided and you wear your normal swimming costume. It is okay just to turn up on the night or you can telephone John Mowat on 872922 for further details. If you have ever wondered about kayaking then this would be an ideal opportunity to try out this great sport under controlled conditions.
