Pool Sessions

Pool sessions are a safe place to concentrate on improving many aspects of boating without having to worry about cold water, current and rocks.

Many boaters use the pool for learning to roll, trying out a new boat or just staying loose between river trips. It’s a chance to meet other club members, plan your next paddling trip and relive last weekend’s. If you’ve never been in a kayak and are just curious feel free to stop on by. The pool is also a great place to bring that co-worker, friend or significant other who has been promising to try kayaking, but never quite gotten around to it.
