 Pool Practice Nights
These 1 to 2 hour sessions allow you to use our boats to practice whatever you want and have fun! A great way to cure the winter blues and remember just how much fun sea kayaking is. Keep in mind the pool temperature is usually 30 Celsius, so refresh what you have been taught over the years and tip over as often as you like! Choose from either 7:00-8:00pm or 8:00-9:00pm. Maximum number of people is 6.
Look! Hire a private instructor by the hour during pool practice sessions:
A new option to our pool practice nights is the option to hire your own private instructor. This option is intended for those wishing to perfect their rolling, rescues or learn new tricks but is also a great option for those looking to get a head start on learning to kayak or have any apprehensions towards being in a kayak. Private instructor fees are as follows:
Pool Practice Time: $45 /hour Plus
Private Instructor: $50 /hour for one student or $45 each /hour for two students

Pool Sea Kayak Rescue Course
|
Possibly the most important course we teach!
Have you ever wondered what would happen if you, or a fellow kayaker, tipped over while paddling... would you know what to do? These 2-hour sessions in a downtown Toronto pool will reassure the beginner or experienced paddler how easy it is to exit an overturned sea kayak and, with simple technique, get back in from the water. With an instructor standing by your side, you can learn solo and assisted re-entry procedures. Sometimes it’s you who needs the rescue, but most of the time it’s you who needs to perform the rescue. Improve your confidence and most importantly, your safety on the water.
Course runs from 7:00-9:00 pm.
Maximum class size is 6 people.
