Start Time: 
Wednesday, September 14, 2011 - 8:00pm - 10:00pm

Some call it "Kayak drop-in," "Albuquerque pool session" or "kayak roll session" - but we call it the "Wednesday night Pool Party", and for good reason;  this is bound to be the most fun you'll have all week!

Come join us for a variety of fun skills building games, socialization and to get a little extra time in the seat.  Each month will feature a different game or theme to keep things fun, fresh and entertaining! It may be "Indoor Pool Slalom" one month, Kayak Polo or Ultimate Kayak Frisbee, or some other skills-building event!

All skill levels welcome; Beginner, Intermediate or Advanced. 

The games we play help beginners learn the basics, while challenging advanced boaters to become more proficient. Everyone benefits from meeting like-minded paddlers and staying connected to the kayaking scene.

7:45 - 8pm; Arrive and unload gear
8:00 - 8:10; Sign in, pay entry/use fee, change clothes, enter pool

Wow, Kelly sure can cram a lot of information into two hours.  He answered every question I had and more. Thanks for a very informative two hours!

Kelly is very articulate with great attention to detail.  He comes highly recommended by those who have attended his courses.
