GET WET Stay Safe Session (SUP & Sit-On-Top Kayaking) (18+)

Sport NI are running a series of free Watersports Safety Sessions under a new project called GET WET Stay Safe across Northern Ireland from June – September. These sessions have been developed to ensure that as we approach the summer months when use of the water is at its highest, that water users are well-informed and can safely use the natural environment to enjoy their specific sports.

These sessions are primarily intended for Stand-Up Paddleboarders and Sit-On-Top Kayakers. All our tutors are fully qualified and are accredited by the Canoe Association of Northern Ireland. These sessions are for adults only (18+) as they are specific safety training, and are not suitable for anyone under 18.

These sessions focus on:

- Safe practice when using the water

- Provide information of the effects of cold water

- Provide basic safety messages relating to your sport and water usage

We are running 3 sessions on this date; you can attend either a specific SUP or Sit-On-Top Kayaking course during any session, you indicate which you are attending by your ticket.

We are running the first session at 10.00, you can attend a course on SUP or Sit-On-Top Kayaking, then at 13.00 and 16.00 we are running another two sessions. Each course is 2 hours in length.

Date: Saturday 9th July 2022.

Time: 10.00 - 12.00 & 13.00 - 15.00 & 16.00 – 18.00

The venue for this session is The Round O, Shore Rd, Enniskillen BT74 7BB
