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.
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.

See kccny.org/events/categories/pool-session/ for all rules and procedures.
INSTRUCTION:
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).
John ‘NJ Boofer’ will be teaching what could be the last pool playboat session. Sign up separately here and note that John will only be helping those who don’t sign up after he helps those who did.
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.
Fragile boats are not recommended. Neither KCCNY nor the participants will be responsible for equipment damage. Getting a long or big boat in the pool is challenging. The largest boat we’ve gotten in are narrow, low volume 17 foot sea kayaks.
