Has just passed its hallway point & we are down to just two remaining sessions. I understand a lot of folks who aren\u2019t snowbirds or year round cold water diehards kind of just pack their boats & gear away & don\u2019t look back until the azaleas start to bloom.<\/p>\n
So if you find yourself in that category you may want to consider getting that kayak off the garage rack a little early this year & hosing out the spiders & joining us on March 25th<\/sup> or April 1st<\/sup>.<\/p>\n Like Steve has mentioned in previous emails, there is always at least one extra spot open at every session by default & additionally you will find at least one or two members will invariably have scheduling conflicts where they can\u2019t make it & generously donate their spots to the first taker.<\/p>\n You would be surprised at how fast you can learn a new skill or overcome bad form with someone right there beside you to coach you out of those ingrained bad habits or show you a new technique.<\/p>\n Also the clear pool water makes it way less intimidating to dunk your head while practicing things like wet exits\/self rescues<\/a><\/strong><\/span>, doing a high brace or learning to<\/a><\/strong><\/span> roll, re-enter\/roll<\/a><\/span><\/strong>, or even handroll !<\/a><\/strong><\/span> Pair of swim goggles & you’ll be instantly more comfortable seeing all your surroundings, paddle position, etc as opposed to the less than optimal <cough> river or bay waters here in Summer. (& no jellyfish or algae blooms to consider). Can even bring a friend & share the session as two hours straight is pretty tiring if you haven’t been in your boat since october or november.<\/p>\n Below here is a quick click ‘n play video of Mike G coming up on both sides & some assorted pics of the preseason sessions so far.Oh, & Mike, Tom & Troy here playing in the deep end<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
