Image: David McBay<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What is canoe polo? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCanoe polo is a five-a-side game. You\u2019re in kayaks with a Netball-size ball with two goals at the end of the pitch. Basically, it\u2019s carnage for twenty minutes as you can push people in!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>You were captain of the Under 21 Women\u2019s team at the 2021 European Championships in Italy. Walk <\/strong><strong>us<\/strong><strong> through your training and preparation in the run up to the Championships.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTraining depends on what season you are in. Over winter, I\u2019m in the gym, aside from early morning lake sessions, but in the summer I compete outside. My weekly schedule would usually include three gym sessions, one or two cardio-based sessions, and then three or four boat sessions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Early morning lake sessions must have been cold! How early are we talking?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI didn\u2019t realise it wasn\u2019t normal! I would get to the lake at 6.30am and paddle for an hour and then go home, have a shower, eat breakfast and go to sixth form. I liked it in the morning because you get to watch the sunrise. The lake is such a special place when you\u2019re the only person on it.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Could you walk us through the journey to Team GB? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI started at Penrith Canoe Club. When I was 16, one of the coaches at Penrith told me I should go for the Team GB development squad. I went and they told me to come back later, because I wasn\u2019t very good! And after that, I started to train. I joined Friends of Allonby Canoe Club (FOA) Ladies\u2019 team in Liverpool and joined Team GB development for two years. In 2016, I got selected for the U21 Team GB squad. At that point I was still playing with FOA, but since then I\u2019ve played for different teams.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What do you wear when you\u2019re competing?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt depends if you play in a pool or outside. For a summer tournament, I\u2019d wear a bikini, long sleeve rash vest, leggings or wetsuit trousers, water shoes and my spraydeck, helmet with face guard and buoyancy aid.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/further\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2022\/03\/Farley_Rollinginthedeep_2.jpg\" alt=\"Katie Farley canoe polo player\" class=\"wp-image-866\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/further\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2022\/03\/Farley_Rollinginthedeep_2.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/further\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2022\/03\/Farley_Rollinginthedeep_2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/further\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2022\/03\/Farley_Rollinginthedeep_2-770x514.jpg 770w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/further\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2022\/03\/Farley_Rollinginthedeep_2-370x247.jpg 370w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/further\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2022\/03\/Farley_Rollinginthedeep_2-293x195.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"http:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/further\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2022\/03\/Farley_Rollinginthedeep_2.jpg\" alt=\"Katie Farley canoe polo player\" class=\"wp-image-866\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/further\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2022\/03\/Farley_Rollinginthedeep_2.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/further\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2022\/03\/Farley_Rollinginthedeep_2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/further\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2022\/03\/Farley_Rollinginthedeep_2-770x514.jpg 770w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/further\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2022\/03\/Farley_Rollinginthedeep_2-370x247.jpg 370w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/further\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2022\/03\/Farley_Rollinginthedeep_2-293x195.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/noscript><figcaption>Making a splash: Farley competing in the championships.

I think the sport is starting to recognise that more, which is good, but it\u2019s still a long way off. Go to your local canoe club and they\u2019ll be more than happy to teach you the skills. Don\u2019t be put off by the testosterone!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Why do you think women are put off by canoe polo?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s because it\u2019s aggressive, which I think some guys are drawn into because they like that. And some girls like that, I like smashing into people sometimes! But you don\u2019t need to be aggressive to play. You can be skillful and quick, and those make you a really good player.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To read other stories about inspiring women in sport, click <a
