Rolling Pool

Learning to roll in a kayak can be a daunting task and the idea of practicing skills on open water can, for some, be a little scary. Our heated rolling pool boasts a large variety of kayaks to practice in and with changing facilities next door can also be used for groups. To book your slot, call reception on 01690 720 214.
