The ability to roll up in your kayak is a critical skill to improving your confidence and performance on the water. It is never too early or too late to learn to roll! If you have any questions about your suitability for the course please email Pat Carney pcarneys@gmail.com .
There are three pool student sessions in the course - Sunday November 4, Saturday November 10, and Saturday November 17. The sessions will be held at Shoreline Pool (19030 1st ave NE, Shoreline) from 2:45-5:45. Please sign up for all three activities at Shoreline Pool.
FYI: In order to successfully roll in conditions, you have to be fairly committed of wanting to do it and put the time in. Some other branches and kayak organization have kayak pool sessions through out the winter months where you can practice rolling. In the end, time you put into it that makes the difference.
Note: As swimming pool time is expensive, cancellation within three weeks prior to the start of the class may result in full forfeiture of the class fee. This will be at the class leader's discretion depending whether the spot can be filled with another person.
