Paddleboarding in the Pool

As Winter has crept up upon us, temperatures have dropped, the wetsuit boots, gloves and hood have come out and the wind and rain have set in, the evenings are also dark by 4pm. The team at The SUP HUT dreamed of paddling in shorts and late into the evening again.

Solution?…. We contacted Penlan pool in the hope they would let us try out stand up paddleboarding there, and what a success !
So from January we will be offering lessons in the warm environment of Penlan leisure centre/ Swansea.

The Introductory sessions in the pool have been designed with two distinct customers in mind.

• Firstly complete beginners who are looking to try this versatile sport in the warm environment a swimming pool provides.

OR

• Secondly Intermediate Paddlers who fancy some SUP Fitness or trying out SUP Polo  ( half an hour each)

You will be able to choose which session you want to attend once we publish the dates ..either beginner or Intermediate

In the Intermediate Paddlers – SUP Fitness session Improving general fitness to more specific goals such as strength gains will be our aim.

For the SUP Polo –  Teams of 3-5 paddlers endeavour to score goals in a net suspended above the water, the ball being thrown by hand, or ‘flicked’ with the paddle. Naturally, the team with the most goals at the end of the match wins the game or maybe you just fancy some general paddling in a warm environment.

The sessions will run on a Saturday night between 8-9pm until the end of April – with the following sessions available

Session costs will be £15 including all equipment- all you’ll need is your swimming costume and towel.

Typically we use Inflatable boards as they are safer and less likely to be damaged.

Come and tighten those core muscles and experience the joy of standing up and Paddling so when the summer arrives you can enjoy the Gower coastline with us .

We are also planning on providing kids only sessions if there is interest.

Liability forms must be signed before the activity and you must be able to swim.

Sessions are now live – and we are taking bookings !
