to practice their skills, improve paddling, recovery, and Eskimo rolling techniques, and for the less exp'erienced paddlers to improve their confidence in their kayaks, all in the warmth and comfort of the swimming pool.


Various fun events included a


“chariot race”, where one per­ son paddles two kayaks with a passenger sitting behind them. More fun bonanzas will be hold during the 11-week programme. Clitheroe Canoe Club will meet
