Tips for the Pool
- Bring your bathing suit, towel, eyeglass guards (if you wear glasses), nose plugs* (you’ll be upside down a lot), synthetic top or similar garment for warmth as some pool water is cold.
- Leave jewelry at home, it can break, or fall off; there’s no time to search the pool for lost charms!
- Bring a lock for the locker room.
- Leave valuables at home.
- You do not need to bring your own equipment, unless you have your own whitewater kayak you wish to learn in.
- Please be on time for all classes, especially the classroom session, as topics will not be repeated, come a few minutes early.
* Nose plugs vary and we highly reccomend paddling specific ones - some classes even provide these for you! Check out the gear section to see what we reccomend!
