Kayak activities
Free practice takes place once a week in the surrounding schools and it is intended for students from 1st to 3rd grade. You can apply your children through the application form, which you hand out to the class teacher at the beginning of the school year. Exercise begins in October. The workout lasts one hour. In the winter, we include various sports content in our training, with an emphasis on athletics and gymnastics, as well as ball games. We acquire sports knowledge through various games. In May, we move from the gym to the Soča, where we learn to row. Kayaking practice lasts until the end of the school year. During this time, the children learn the basics of kayaking and take a beginner’s kayak course, and at the end they are all rewarded.

Use of the course in Kayak center Solkan
Use of the polygon at your own risk. Please follow the instructions for performing the exercise.
- Announcement of trainings until Friday at 12.00 for next week.
- The training schedule is designed to ensure the maximum number of boats on the water due to the quality of training.
- The training schedule does not provide a constant water level at the request of coaches, because the water level is not in the domain of the Kayak Center Solkan.
- The water level cannot be predicted, as it largely depends on precipitation (you can follow HERE)
- If the flow of the Soča is higher than 500 m3 / s, the line automatically collapses and training between the gates is not possible.
- A larger, shorter unannounced increase in water level is possible due to the planning of the needs of HPP Solkan
- Safety meters (red-colored warnings and interpretation boards) have been set up along the route, warning water users, both swimmers and kayakers, of the high water level and the dangers of the Soča. When spilling red markings, greater care must be taken to ensure one’s own safety on and along the water.
