General information on our Eskimo rolling courses:
Grant and his team have been coaching eskimo rolling for many years and over that period have taught hundreds of paddlers to roll successfully. Years ago, being able to eskimo roll was considered an advanced skill, but today thanks to advancements in kayak design and coaching techniques it can be learnt from an early stage of a paddler's development.
We are often asked "how long will it take me to learn to roll?"
Their is no simple answer to this since everyone is different but in our experience, most paddlers will need two or three sessions to master the basics of the technique.

We take a maximum of six people on each session, and aim to have two British Canoeing qualified coaches for each session.
Kayaks are supplied, but if you would prefer to learn in your own boat (provided it is suitable), please feel free to bring it along. The only proviso is that your boat must be spotlessly clean before entering the pool.
Cost per session: £65.00 per person including pool hire and equipment if required.
