How much is it going to cost?
Here are some easy calculations to help figure out costs based on what you want to do.
I just want to come use the pool.
Pool time $15.00 If you just show up to use the pool. It is $15.00.
I want to come use the pool and I want a lesson.
Lessons $15.00 + Pool time $15.00 = $30.00
I want to come use the pool, but I don’t have equipment.
Rental Equipment $10.00 + Pool time $15.00 = $25.00
I want to come use the pool and get a lesson, but I don’t have equipment.
Rental Equipment $10.00 + Pool time $15.00 + Lesson $15.00 = $40.00

Kieth,
went through the lower part of Boyscout Rapid on the Wolf R. upside down this Fall and don’t “know” that a roll would have helped in that instance but it would have been nice to try to find out! I’ll want to take a roll class(s) again this year as I swallowed a lot of water but will have to get back to you when we get a little closer to the dates.
I’ll post your times and dates to my list of folks!

Where do we sign up for Sunday lessons? I have a kayak and necessary safety equipment. I would be considered a beginner with experience. Thanks you.
