Open Kayak Pool Sessions & Private Roll Instruction

Pool Sessions are open practice times for all levels of paddlers, whether you're working on playboating, perfecting your roll, or just wanting to try out the sport.

Formal instruction is not provided, but a brief basic boat orientation is available for beginners. So, take advantage of the warm water at the pool and practice your paddling! Held most Fridays, 5 - 8 p.m., November through March.

The Kayak Pool Session Pass is free and is required for all participants in weekly kayaking sessions at Optimist Pool. Once you register for your membership, you will be allowed to check in at Optimist Pool and pay for your daily session or equipment rental. Private Roll Instruction sessions are also available from 5 - 6 p.m. and 6 - 7 p.m. for a $41 fee. Register on RecLink.

For questions, please email [email protected] or call Forest Ridge Park at 919-996-5800.
