Youngsters urged to take to the water
KIDS looking to try something a bit different over the summer break are being urged to take kayaking lessons at Strathclyde Country Park.
The kayaking programme is for youngsters aged eight to 11 and will teach them all about techniques, paddling junior racing kayaks and competing in regattas, which are supported by the Scottish Canoe Association.
Russell Daniels, Scotland's first canoeing development officer is running the programme for North Lanarkshire Leisure over the school holiday period.
He said: "Water sports are great for kids, particularly as the temperatures heat up over the holidays. Our kayaking courses are all about youngsters enjoying themselves and are designed for those of all abilities."
