Personal equipment must be clean for entrance into the pool.
Welcome to our Youth Pool League! Join us in the comfort of a warm pool during the winter months for both first-timers and experienced shredders alike. This is a great opportunity for your young ripper to maintain progress during warmer months or for them to get a jump on the upcoming season. It’s also a great way for them to test the waters with minimal commitment to see if the whitewater kayak is a fit.
Each week, we offer progressive programming, working through a multitude of skills that ultimately lead to underwater comfort in the kayak, controlled capsizing, and, for those showing an affinity for the preceding skills, the kayak roll. Additional skill focus is placed on concepts of balance, stroke mechanics, and a ton of games that keep these groms engaged and learning in a playful, lighthearted fashion.
One of the first two weeks is required for full participation; we assess skill level in those weeks and place your young paddler into an appropriate progression.
