Description:
The lido is a fantastic large venue for trying the sport for the first time or practising those skills you would prefer not to do at the canal.
Aim to arrive around 5-10 mins before the session time to provide a bit of extra time to get ready, you must only enter the venue when you are instructed. You must ensure you register before getting changed with all members of your party present when registering. Our volunteers will do the best they can to get you on the water as soon as is possible, however you should only enter the water once you have, registered, a volunteer has ensured you have adequate and correctly fitted safety equipment and the duty volunteers in hi-vis have said it is safe to do so.
- Please you wear shorts and t-shirt as a minimum – this is to give some protection while getting in and out boats.
- Wetsuits are ideal.
- Footwear is required – spare trainers, water shoes.
- Cags (kayak cagoule) are available to help with the cold; these are recommended on colder dates but are optional.
- Buoyancy aids are provided and are compulsory.
