Introduction to Kayaking, (Pool Lesson)

Introduction to Kayaking is a six-hour course focusing on skills needed for any type of kayak including but not limited to sit on tops, recreational, touring, whitewater and inflatable kayaks. Presentations include an overview of modern hull designs and equipment, dressing to paddle safely and potential paddling hazards. In the pool, simple rescues are demonstrated by the instructor combined with the paddling skills practiced by students to maneuver safely and comfortably on still water. Designed as a stand-alone course, students desiring more intensive skills would proceed to Essentials of River Kayak, Whitewater Kayak or Kayak Roll courses to continue the learning and refinement process, depending on their interest and kayak type.

The class will be taught using a variety of whitewater, recreational and touring kayaks. The price for this class is $75, and includes all kayaks, gear and pool rental. All you gotta do is show up with your swimming suit! If you want to bring your own kayak and gear, you're welcome to - but please make sure it is clean before entering the pool.

A $25 non-refundable deposit will be required to reserve your spot in this class. Cash, check and credit card are accepted. The balance will be due before class begins.

Please arrive early to change into your swimming clothes. Class will begin promptly at 6pm
