Bring your bathing suit, towel, eyeglass guards (if you wear glasses), nose plugs* (you’ll be upside down a lot), synthetic top or similar garment for warmth as some pool water is cold.
Leave jewelry at home, it can break, or fall off; there’s no time to search the pool for lost charms!
Bring a lock for the locker room.
Leave valuables at home.
You do not need to bring your own equipment, unless you have your own whitewater kayak you wish to learn in.
Please be on time for all classes, especially the classroom session, as topics will not be repeated, come a few minutes early.

* Nose plugs vary and we highly recommend paddling specific ones
