In 2025, the Powiśle Sports Club is organizing recreational kayak polo classes for adults under the slogan "Active Powiśle by the Vistula." The classes are open to people who already know how to kayak or those who want to start their kayaking adventure. The classes are divided into two groups: - Beginner (Mondays) - Advanced (Thursdays) The beginner group is for people who have never had contact with a kayak before or whose experience is limited to a few trips. Monday classes will focus on: - Safely getting in and out of a kayak - Basic paddling and kayak control - Water safety rules - Kayaking with a spray skirt - Learning to handle the ball and shoot at the goal Thursday classes will focus on: - Technical skills needed for the game (turns, kayaking with the ball, Eskimo rolls for those interested) - Playing kayak polo 📅 Class dates: - July 14, 21, 28 from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM - August 4, 25 from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM - September 1, 8 from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM 📍 Location: Czerniakowski Port, Solec Street 8 💰 Payments: Classes are free thanks to funding from the Sports and Recreation Office of the City of Warsaw as part of the "Active by the Vistula" competition. Number of participants: 12 Equipment needed for the classes is provided by the organizer. What to wear: - A long or short-sleeved shirt (tight-fitting/thermal underwear) or two if it's cold - Leggings or shorts suitable for water activities in case of capsizing (knee-length to protect legs from chafing) - Flip-flops or water sports shoes - It's also important to bring something to drink Do not wear: - Cotton sweatshirts or pants - Sweatshirts with wide sleeves that will hang into the water - Wide jackets/raincoats that act as sails in the wind We especially recommend these trainings to people who want to increase their daily physical activity, improve their physique, and care about a healthy lifestyle. It may be hard to believe, but kayak polo works your abdominal muscles intensely! This water-based game will improve your mood after the worst day at work, and you'll be looking forward to the next training session! 🔗 Registration: https://forms.gle/o1BbjFmRLnPd8RwT9
