Preparation guide
What do I need to bring?
We will spend the vast majority of the time in our heated pool. It can be useful to have along a nose clip and googles to help improve comfort as you'll be spending a lot of time underwater. Bring a swimming costume and long-john style wetsuit if you have one, although we have plenty to borrow free of charge in our well-equiped store. You may wish to bring along your own trusty paddle.
How should I prepare?
Rolling can be tiring, so being fit will help you get the most from the course. Flexibility is another key factor in success so increasing your flexibility and mobility well ahead of the course will help to ensure success.
