−	~~==Basin Exercises ==~~
−
−	Exercise 1 – loads of different forward paddling tips, however start with Boat Body Blade and make it fun – Tug of war, see how far they can get with 6 paddle strokes, see which works better 6 fast or 6 slow...
−
−	~~Exercise 2 – Figure of 8 edging, edge until capsize, change edge every stroke, use combination of Skill 2 & 3 to go straight only paddling on one side~~
−
−	Exercise 3 – Sculling draw stroke at front of boat, also known as ‘Duffek’ and very useful in open boating as well. Use each other/buoys as a rock, pretend there is a flow and break out. Get on river, break out behind things (stantions, boats, rocks) - Care needed
−
−	Exercise 4 – Hanging draw is really hard to get, start by pairing up placing blade and someone else not in a boat pushing you away from pontoon. T draw on the move – boat to blade to avoid head on collision with buddy
−
−	~~Exercise 5 – See who can edge furthest – don’t stop edging until you need to low brace. Don’t rely on momentum, make sure you are off balance!~~
−
−	~~Exercise 6 & 7 – in pool, maybe in 4th week~~
