yorkshire polo
Think ParkRun, just on water! A non-competitive 5km time trial from the boathouse to Prebends Bridge and back.
This is the second of a series of 5km time trials, occurring once a fortnight (river levels permitting). New participants welcome. Times are recorded and added to the spreadsheet (on website) so you can see your progress throughout the year!
Choose between a polo boat or (if you are confident in one) a wavehopper. Swimming is not permitted. Faff also not permitted.
Your time will be recorded for you, but you can record on a watch/phone too if you wish. If it’s not on strava, it didn’t happen.
Polo this Wednesday! We are taking over the normal chill paddle to do some polo skills. Signup here if you plan on arriving at 1:30, signup to the other signup if you want to get there at 12:30. Details in socials chat, any questions let me know

Canoe polo!
Open to all, but we will all be taking polo boats in this session. If you don't want to take a polo boat, you could try one on a pool/Wednesday paddle first.
Meet at the boathouse at 2pm. Hoping to work on ball skills/jostling, but if I get cold I will make everyone do fitness!
Our Friday pool sessions are back!
Learn to roll or play polo in a nice warm pool!
£5 for this week's session pool hire and transportation.
Bring a towel, something you are happy to wear in the boat in
the pool (Sports clothes or a swimming costume with shorts/leggings and a
sports top work well) as well as a change of clothes for afterwards.
When you sign up could you please add a comment saying either
'Rolling' or 'Polo' depending on what you are intending to do at the pool
session. If you change your mind and cannot change the
comment as the session is full for example, please either message Madeline or
on the socials chat.
This
week there are 3 spaces for those wanting rolling coaching so please only sign
up if there are less than 3 people signed up for rolling. You are welcome to
play polo instead- keep checking though incase someone who has signed up for
rolling unsigns!
Priority is given to those who have paid for membership but non-members are
also welcome for a price of £7.
Meet at the boathouse at 7:15 pm for transport to the Pool session.
----**NOTE:
The river levels have the potential to get a lil *spicy* this time of year so
the session may be called off last minute. Keep an eye on the groupchat! **----
THE
WEDNESDAY WARRIORS RETURN AT MC 13:30-15:00
The
usual Wednesday session! Open to beginners and is simply a really chill couple
hours on the River Wear. If you want to get into kayaking or simply have a fun
afternoon on the river this is probably the session for you!
Please
bring a fleece to wear on the water, spare shoes, plenty of spare clothes and a
towel. It is best not to wear jeans on the water since these shrink when wet.
See
you there!
