TRAINING DAY: STROKE REFINEMENT ON THE MOVE
Coaches: Jill Lingard & Scott Jantz
Location: Rogers Park on the Weeki Wachee River, 7244 Shoal Line Blvd in Spring Hill
Date/Time: Sunday, November 2. Arrive by 8:30 a.m. Class will start at 9:00. We should finish up around noon-1PM, depending how far upstream the group chooses to paddle. NOTE: Daylight Savings Time ends at midnight Saturday--don't forget to reset your clocks! We'll "gain" an hour, so this morning drive won't feel so bad.
Description: The twisty path of the spring-fed Weeki Wachee River provides a fun opportunity to practice powerful forward stroke form as we paddle upstream against the current. On our journey back downstream, we can practice turning strokes like sweeps and bow rudders, as well as edging.
What to bring: This training is open to all paddlers and kayaks of any length are welcome. Participants must wear a PFD. Bring plenty to drink and snacks if you need them. We can have lunch at the Upper Deck Cafe next to Rogers Park after our paddle if folks are interested in that.
If you have any medical issues that might impact your paddling, please notify leaders before the trip so that they can be best equipped to assist you as needed.
Please register (or cancel) on the website or contact the trip leaders to notify them of any last minute changes to your plans to participate.
