Every year there’s discontent with the timing or location of pool sessions after we are committed.

Yes, we’d like to offer different times and different locations, but pool chair worked hard just to get the one we have.

Since pool decisions are normally made in the early fall, the time to explore alternatives is then. Pool sessions are by far the most expensive thing KCCNY does and we generally break even on them.

So if you want to explore other venues or times feel free to reach out to other area pools.

Weeknights have never worked well. Weekend days have generally been much more successful in terms of attendance which equates to profit (or at least not losing much money).
Locations:
If you want to try to explore finding another pool please do so in our area but well away from Garfield, with parking and public transit accessible and for a partial season.
Our paddlers are centered around NYC mostly in New Jersey and the northern suburbs of Westchester, Rockland and Orange Counties. Though we have a few paddlers on Long Island its hard for most of our paddlers to get east of NY City.
If you can find a spot we can gauge interest. We have a few orthodox paddlers who don’t paddle on Saturday and NY Kayak Polo has been offered a Saturday afternoon option as well and we’d prefer not to compete with them.
Not just suggestions but actual pool contacts who are willing to have us.
On-site storage for boats is a big plus. Indoor dry storage for gear is even a bigger plus.
We have 2M in insurance. (as of 2024) and can get certificate of named insured.
Feel free to contact us to learn more.
