Members of
the Pentland Canoe Club (Simon Copsey; Andy Ford and David Mowat)
completed a Level 2 Coach (Kayak) training course last weekend. This was
the culmination of a session of hard work during which they had to obtain
various pre-requisites for the course including a Canoeing Safety Test,
First Aid and 3 Star Certificates. During the training course they were
coached in the fundamentals of coaching, safety, journeying and personal
skills. Following this course there will be a consolidation of the skills
learnt before attending an assessment in the near future. The course was
run by local coaches Ken Nicol and Bob Silverwood who are both Level 5
Coaches (Sea) - the highest coach award achievable in the UK.
