Watch these instructional videos and read the pool practise guides to get some good tips! Note the common mistakes video is for the C to C roll, not the sweep roll, however they are similar and the mistakes are fixed the same way.
Library
The Club library is an online archive containing things like river guides, forms to plan trips, maps, incident reports, first aid info, the constitution, safe operating plans, the gear hire policy and exec meeting minutes.
trip planning
If you’re keen on heading away on a particular trip, or there isn’t anything much happening one weekend, why not organize a trip yourself! Remember that it’s not only your instructors and exec members that can organise trips, we welcome all club members (not matter the experience level) to organise a trip of their choosing. We’ll even give you all the help and support you need to ensure a smooth, safe and enjoyable trip. It isn’t as scary as it may seem!
Here is a guidebook to help you get started on planning a trip and a trip planning template that you'll need to fill out and get signed off by the River Vice President or River Safety Officer:
