Learn to Roll Clinics
Rolling is an important and satisfying safety skill to learn. During these sessions we will teach you the fundamentals of rolling and give you exercises to get you closer to mastering your roll. Rolling is a skill that takes time to perfect; Practice and a little instruction is key. Once you get your roll you will find that your confidence on the water and other skills will also improve, not to mention you will have the fastest and most effective self rescue at your disposal.

Rolling and playing in the waves
So you know how to roll and now want to test it out in the waves. Or you kind of have a roll, don’t need another lesson, and want to see if and how you come up with a bit of wave action. Or you never want to roll and you want to practice paddling and bracing in the waves. Or you want to practice your self rescue in the waves. Or you just want to hang out in your boat, feel the waves underneath you, close you eyes and dream of tropical places...then this is the session for you!
The pool is a wave pool, but no worries, it’s just gentle wave action which makes it so fun to play in! We’re there to teach and assist you in anything you want to practice.

Advanced Rescues (In waves)
Here’s where the fun begins! For those of you fairly comfortable with assisted rescue and self rescue, we step it up a notch. We will begin with a focus on bow rescue and paddle assisted rescue. We’ll then move on to different rescues that can be performed on an injured paddler or perhaps play with all-in scenarios. We have some cool variations on assisted rescues that are great for you to be aware of. We’ll also spend time on your scramble self rescue and your re-enter and roll. A re-enter and roll is actually quite achievable. We have taught many paddlers with our method and have a tremendous success rate even with paddlers who don’t have their roll yet!
For the second half of the class we do all of this with the waves on! Woohoo! Now that’s more like real paddling conditions!

For those attending a session:
Terry Fox Memorial Pool is sometimes referred to on signage as Mississauga Valley Community Centre. It is hard to find so if you have a GPS use it! Once you arrive in the front parking lot take the first right to drive around to the side of the building. From there if the snow remains cleared all winter you can drive up a little path and park right next to the pool side door. (If you are bringing your own kayak) See you there!
Come on! I know you want to splash about in that calm pool!!You KNOW you can't not paddle for the next 5 months!!!Call us 905-399-1216
Also if you take a clinic with us we will donate ten trees to Trees for the Future to be planted in third world countries.
