2* training with Ewa at the puddle – 7th June 2010

We spent a warm and chilled out afternoon at the puddle on a kids free Sunday evening...it was really nice actually! Kieran came down to do some tricks in a boat and them promptly discovered that its really hard in an RPM but did some rolling anyways J Me and Ewa managed to cover forwards paddling, trunk rotation, use of core muscles, sculling draw, knifing draw, backwards paddling and stopping, turning using a sweep stroke and she even managed to do T rescues and unconscious rescues on me as well! A well utilised afternoon and my first experience of coaching a 2*! Also, I managed to roll using my Carlisle paddle rather than the recently acquired Werner with much more power so I was pretty happy, and then I rolled again but didn’t go under set up I went over with my paddle over my head and still made the roll which was reassuring! Then a trip to the Chinese, and a quiz at Tregoyd where my team won a boat, and a box of playdoh head modelling fun! Sweet afternoon!
