Pool Clinics

Pool Clinics are on Thursdays from 5:30pm to 7:30 pm at the Glenwood Recreation Center from January through May. It's a fun atmosphere and geared to paddlers of all ages and all levels, whether you are working on a flat water cartwheel, your offside roll, or your just getting into a kayak for your first time, the pool clinics are a great way to learn these skills and connect to the broader Roaring Fork valley boating community.

Each Session is for two Thursdays. When you sign up, please be ready to commit to coming for two weeks in a row. That will help solidify the new skills you are learning.

Participants are encouraged to bring their own boat and gear if they have it, or we can provide everything you need.

The coaches are stoked to work with you and continue to improve your skills for the river!

Payment for clinic-

The clinics cost $50 for non-members, and only $20 for members. This covers two Thursday night two hour clinics. We want kayaking to be accessible to everyone, so if the cost is a barrier, please let us know if you'd like a scholarship.

For brand new boaters, these pool clinics are the best way to get into kayaking. You can learn a ton there, and, when you are ready, you can take it to the river. Come meet up with our experienced, ACA certified instructors as they walk you through the basics of whitewater kayaking, paddling techniques, and boating safety. If you are up for it, you can work on rolling your kayak as well!

All of our participants improve their knowledge of kayaking skills and receive individualized feedback. Our goal is to have participants leaving clinics with the interest, skills, and information needed to feel comfortable and confident paddling a kayak and safely exploring our local rivers with us in the summer, as well as feeling more connected to the local boating community.
