This is part of our ongoing effort to grow the discipline of slalom paddling with the future in mind.<\/p>\n<p>Around 12 paddlers gathered at the Treverton College dam on Friday afternoon for flatwater training on the slalom course. As one of the most technical forms of paddling, slalom benefits greatly from flatwater conditions, allowing athletes to refine their core skills.<\/p>\n<p>Training then moved to the Bushman\u2019s River at Black Rock on Saturday and Sunday. Once a sought-after slalom venue, Black Rock has not been used for over ten years due to a decline in the sport and safety concerns. However, it proved to be an excellent choice, with strong flow from Wagendrift Dam at a time of year when many rivers are typically at their winter low.<\/p>\n<p>It was incredibly encouraging to see how quickly all the paddlers improved over the weekend. A big thank you to Cyprian Ngidi for sharing his knowledge, and to the parents who came out to support!<\/p>\n<p>Education is an Adventure!<\/p>\n<p>For further information please visit www.treverton.co.za<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\/contact\/featured\/\">CLICK HERE to submit your press release to MyPR.co.za<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Author<\/strong>: Treverton College from <strong>Angelfish Pr and Events<strong> on behalf of <strong>Treverton College<\/strong>.<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Track_Your_Press_Release_HERE\"><\/span>Track Your Press Release HERE:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"mypr-visibility-box\" readability=\"4.2608695652174\">\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Check_Online_Visibility\"><\/span>Check Online Visibility<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Verify where this release is currently indexed:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"entry-pagination pagination\">Pages: <span class=\"post-page-numbers current\" aria-current=\"page\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Page <\/span>1<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\/treverton-college-hosts-former-south-african-olympic-paddler-cyprian-ngidi-for-slalom-paddling-course\/2\/\" class=\"post-page-numbers\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Page <\/span>2<\/a><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\/treverton-college-hosts-former-south-african-olympic-paddler-cyprian-ngidi-for-slalom-paddling-course\/\" target=\"_blank\">CLICK HERE to Read the Original Press Release on MyPR<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We had the privilege of hosting former South African Olympic paddler Cyprian Ngidi this past weekend, who ran a slalom paddling course from Friday afternoon through to Sunday.
