Description

This is your chance to learn how to kayak in the safe environment of a swimming pool. You can learn all the basics kayak strokes, how to wet exit, and learn how to roll in a kayak.  This is good chance to work on your kayaking skills during colder weather.  We usually get dinner at a local mexican restaurant afterwards if of interest.

Signing Up and Payment: Sign up with link to calendar below.  Sessions are $7 per session $10 per session (to cover cost of the pool rental).  Bring cash to the Tuesday outing club meeting, pay at the Outdoor Program Office in person (cash or card) or over the phone (card), or just bring cash to the pool session on Sunday.  

Clothing: bring swimwear, nose plugs and goggles if you have them (handy when you are upside down). Also full toe protection is advisable as this is what you will wear when you're paddling on rivers/lakes, but not mandatory. If you have a rash vest or a wetsuit top these will be helpful to keep you warm as the pool water can be cold. 

Logistics: We meet at the Memorial Union inside the OPO office at 12:45pm. We will then organize which boats/gear we are taking and carry them out to the cars. Once we have all the gear and people packed we will drive to the Natatorium pool. We then take the boats and gear into the Natatorium (but outside the pool). We all change in the changing rooms (please shower before entering the pool) and then bring all the kayaks and gear into the pool and begin the session. After this point the group is split into groups i.e. “Lake Lesson” or “Rolling Lesson”. Some of the more experienced members will just practice their skills in the pool as well.
