New Mexico Kayak Instruction is pleased to offer the first official, 4-week open-to-the-public kids kayak class in Albuquerque for kids 9 - 13 years old. This 4-week series will include 12 hours of pool instruction covering basic strokes and concepts to effortless paddling, fun skills-building games including Ultimate Kayak Frisbee, Indoor Slalom and Kayak Polo. The last week will wrap up with an introduction to the kayak roll1.

Upon completion of this course, most kids should be competent kayaking on flat water, such as Cochiti Lake or easy rivers such as the Rio Grande Bosque.

The 4-week series will take place on the following dates2:

  1. January 29th, 4 - 7pm, at Los Altos Pool
  2. February 12th, 4 - 7pm, at Los Altos Pool
  3. February 26th, 4 - 7pm, at Los Altos Pool
  4. March 11th, 4 - 7pm, at Los Altos Pool

An optional trip on the Rio Grande Bosque may be offered at the end of this course.

1 The kayak roll will be taught at the instructor's discretion based on each individual child's comfort and proficiency in a skirted kayak, as well as their ability to follow directions and overall comfort level being upside down in the water.

2 One free make-up session will be offered in conjunction with our regular 2nd or 4th Wednesday 'Kayak Pool Party' at Los Altos Pool, on Wednesday nights from 8 - 10pm

What an awesome class! Everything clicked into place in my head and my strokes are so much better!

This is without a doubt the best outdoor class I have ever taken. Kelly and his team are totally skilled as teachers. I plan to sign up for every class I can with this team. My enjoyment and skill level immediately improved after one day. I didn't realize I was using body memory from paddling a canoe many years ago that were not good practice with a kayak. Take these classes! They're a great return on investment and a whole lot of fun besides!--Kate O'Neill, 54yo teacher
