Event Type

FOR INSURANCE REASONS, REGISTRATION WILL NOT OPEN UNTIL JAN 1ST.
This is a 2 two-hour pool sessions to try everything from basic handling to advanced play-boating to working on that all-important roll.

You can’t get in the pool until 1 but plan on arriving well beforehand for boat inspection and cleaning. Cleaning station and locker rooms will be up and running by 12.30. 
Late arrivals will have to wait to be inspected and checked in. 

Everything – especially boats – must be clean.

We reserve the right to refuse entry to dirty boats. If you’d be willing to help check boats please contact us or the coordinator. Remove float bags and anything else that might impede cleaning. This means you. Everyone will be asked to dump a bucket of water in their boat, slosh it around and empty it to prove cleanliness.
See our pool page for all rules and procedures.

Online booking only as the online systems aids tracking and makes life easier for our volunteer administrators.
You will not be admitted until you have signed up, so you may as well do it now (as doing it on your phone at the pool is never a pleasant experience). $5 cash or check surcharge.

Discounted season tickets available.

INSTRUCTION:

Andy Lioasa (ACA certified instructor) will be attending and providing instruction to beginners in handling and rolling.

We have plenty of skilled instructors at all sessions who can help with getting you started and basic rolling. Just ask (or flounder and someone will probably offer to help).
