When I was playing canoe polo, we played often in pools and during the winter we always had training in a large (non wave) pool. We always kept our helmets and pfd´s on. Canoe polo ist just a game and training is just fun (most of the time), but it happens SO fast you get a paddle or ball on the head or bumb with your body on other boats or on pool edges aso.... Most injuries only happen without helmet or pfd. So it´s a policy to put them on, all the time. OK, while training some techniques (without the possibility of diect contact) we paddle without helmet. (I stopped canoe polo 1,5 years ago, but the others still do it.) Pool training is GREAT. We got an outside pool with wave machine here also, but during sommer there´s no chance get in with boats. bye Jochen *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
