Any recommendations for if you don't have a partner or shallow end of pool to help with progression? I'm doing the dryland drills, and then edge of pool so far which I'm digging (thanks!)... 🙃

Perhaps you have another boater that you could use boat off? Anything that floats or is stable to be honest. Can be even a trunk of a tree, rock anything solid to give you a support to start off! Alternatively you can take a floater from the pool - like a board used for learning to swim. These are great for those exercises tho a little bit more advanced. If struggling you can just stuck few of them

@@kayakingunlocked Thank you for replying!! Means more than I can say. I have gotten this roll sometimes effortlessly, and sometimes not. I think it's the last part of the roll and something going on there. I had the thought the other day that perhaps I'm moving to slow with that. Does that make sense?

@@tag5504 I know what you mean however it s hard to say anything without really seeing it. However most of the times the issue is much earlier than the result that we see! So being slow at the end of the move may be caused by going too much to the side instead of under at the start. Just an example tho worth considering it this way. Good luck!
