Ensure a safe paddle trip for you and others by enhancing your water safety skills in our Kayak Pool Safety Class. We’ll start in the classroom for brief instruction before moving to the pool for hands-on learning. Darrin Siefken, ACA certified instructor, will teach you the basics of kayak safety and rescue techniques. Wear your swimsuit, swim trunks or whatever water clothing you’re comfortable in. You will get wet! Access to public restrooms and shower facilities will be available.
