Pool Session #1

2 two-hour pool sessions to try everything from basic handling to advanced play-boating to working on that all-important roll at the same spacious Garfield Pool we’ve had for years.
Pool sessions continue every Sunday for 2 hours from 2-4 until the end of March except the weekend between Christmas and New Years and possibly “Toh” weekend, the 3rd weekend of March.

Plan on arriving early with a clean boat and equipment.

Online booking only as the online systems aids tracking and makes life easier for our volunteer administrators.

For season ticket at a substantial discount see our season ticket page.
You will not be admitted until you have signed up, so you may as well do it now.

INSTRUCTION:

Chris Dubetsky and 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).

Discounts available to instructors, especially certified who will be teaching the majority of the session. Please contact our training chair for more information.

EQUIPMENT:

Equipment is available to borrow including boats, paddles, skirts helmets and life jackets  but takes time to arrange so reach out well beforehand.
Details on borrowing equipment.

If you’re bringing a boat other than a whitewater kayak note that when you sign up. Don’t expect to paddle a larger boat around much but you should be able to practice rolls and re-entries. Getting a long or big boat in the pool is challenging. The largest boat we’ve gotten in is a low volume 17 foot sea kayak.

Fragile boats are not recommended. Neither KCCNY nor the participants will be responsible for equipment damage.
