Coaching At Warwick UniversityCurrently on a Thursday at 3pm for an hour, we have the pool for structured coaching. This is used at all levels of ability, from foundation skills to advanced flat water to playboating. Often in the week before the session an email will be sent listing the skills that are going to be in focus that week, but this is only a rough guide, just come along with your own questions, problems or aims. The standard of canoeing at Warwick is always getting better and as such we have more and more coaches on hand to help you out so never be afraid to ask questions on a more informal basis on a Monday night at the pool or in the street, coaches live and breath boating so always ask questions – there is never a silly question only a silly answer! 
This last year we have run 2 star assessments after Christmas on the first trip back, on which a number of beginners to canoeing gained this award, a number of members at the time in their second year gained 3 star after the Easter break and a few members again passed their 4 star towards the end of term 3. If you have no idea what that means look up the link on this page to the BCU star awards schemes. Canoe Safety Tests have run through the year and are an excellent way of learning about lots of aspects of water safety from rope work to equipment to leadership, these are aimed at anyone at any level. At any time in the year if there is something you want to do, just let me know and we can sort something out. At all levels of canoeing you should keep a log book of the rivers, activities and awards that you have done. A template for this can be found here.
