Janet first began
paddling in Peel swimming pool and progressed quickly onto the sea
in time for some great summer paddling. She now reflects that as
the winter drew in she kept waiting to be told that kayaking would
cease until the next summer, however she kept turning up every week
and quickly learned that winter paddling could be just as much, if
not more, fun as the adrenalin rush kicks in. She is a firm
believer that rolling is over rated and as a beginner just
concentrated on not capsizing in the first place in the rough
winter conditions.
Janet works full time as the Marketing Manager for a Private
Bank in Douglas and loves the variation in her work. Janet likes to
keep fit and visits the gym every lunchtime, plays squash and swims
once a week, and in her spare time she studies Spanish. You may
have even seen her blading up and down Douglas Promenade!
Janet has
adapted the paddling philosophy that "no matter how good we are we
are always between swims" to her love of travelling. Janet
permanently feels that she is between travelling trips but at least
the time in between on the island means that she can get in lots of
paddling around the stunning coastline of the Isle of Man.
