POOL COURSE Schedule 2009 has arrived!

Our 2009 Pool course schedule is now up and listed below. NEW for 2009 is our Pool Kayak Play and Exploration!  Please call in for questions and registration (416-203-2277)

FLORIDA KEYS - February 21 - March 1st - "Harbourfront South" trip

We have all heard the predictions that this winter may be a long one.  So with that, its time to look at ways to extend our paddling season.  We are proud to announce that Harbourfront is heading south to the Florida Keys and we would like you to come along.  We will take care of all the arrangements, you just need to bring the desire to paddle and see something new.  This is a lodging based trip consisting of day trip/excursions and mainly in house meals. We plan on spending our days paddling the Keys, snorkeling in the coral reefs and taking in the local attraction such as the Dolphin Research Centre and Key West!   

This is a touring focused trip and is suitable for all skill levels.

"The play and exploration course was a fantastic way to get comfortable with the kayak in a safe environment. James and Eric, the instructors provided a relaxed session that was tailored to individual goals and abilities. I would recommend this course to anyone looking to see if kayaking is for them." Chris D. Toronto

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 its you who needs to perform the rescue.  Improve your confidence and most importantly, your safety on the water.

Choose either 7:00 pm or 9:00 pm start. Maximum class size is 6 people.

Pool Practice Nights

These 1 to 4 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 either 7:00 pm, 8:00pm, 9:00 pm or 10:00pm starts. Maximum number of people is 6.

Choose either 7pm or 9pm start. Maximum class size is 4 participants with at least 2 instructors.

Pool Kayak Play and Exploration NEW!

Don't be fooled by the name, this is an instructed course! Whether you've been paddling for years or are just stepping into a kayak fro the first time, Kayak Play is designed to help individuals of all skill levels to increase their comfort both in and on the water.  Great for those who have never kayaked before or who have apprehensions being in a kayak, and great for those who have spent many years trying to perfect their paddling skills.  Kayak play encourages people to come out of their kayaks, reduce inhibitions while at the same time improving boat awareness and confidence.  This is a "challenge-by-choice" oriented program meaning that you can do as little of much as your comfort level will allow.  Those with intermediate levels can try to push their boundaries and explore what their kayak can an cannot yet do.  Either way come expecting two hours of fun and new skills

Challenge yourself...improve your skills...learn something new...come have fun!

Classes run from 7-9pm or 9-11pm
