ISK Winter Pool Sessions are moving to Sundays with some other important changes! 

Important 2026/27 Changes: Pool Sessions will held every other week from 11/8 until 4/11 and each session will have two time blocks (Block A and Block B). The time blocks will be 90 minutes long and will require separate registrations.

Just like last year, the pool sessions are located at the Kenwood Trail Middle School in Lakeville.

Indoor pool practice is a fun time and allows you to work on your skills over the winter in the comfort of warm, clear water. This is a great setting to learn to roll, practice rescues, improve your strokes and just have fun.

Each pool session block will have a 20 minute mini-lesson highlighting a “skill of the week”. There will also be a rolling instructor stationed in the shallow end of the pool to help you learn or improve your rolling skills. This week’s mini lesson will be Scoop Rescues.

The Kenwood Train Middle School pool building is on the south end of the main school building. We will use the pool doors on the far south end of the pool building. Unload your kayak and gear in the drop off area on the backside of the pool building. Parking is available nearby. The doors open at 8:30 am for Block A. Door will open at 10:00 am for Block B.

Important Notes:

1. You must be an active ISK member to attend the pool sessions.
2. You must be an ACA (American Canoe Association) member and have the ACA CMS annual liability waiver on file. This is required for insurance purposes. You will be required to provide your ACA number when registering for the session.
   
3. Arrive by 8:45 am (Block A) or 10:15 am (Block B) to unload and stage your kayak and gear near the door.
4. Lockers and showers are available however there are no locks on the lockers. 
5. Bring your own lock to secure your personal belongings or bring them out to the pool deck so they are safe from theft.
6. Life jackets must be worn at all times while in the pool.
7. For safety, you are prohibited from standing in your kayak.
8. Pool sessions are for sea kayaks (no whitewater kayaks, recreational kayaks, SUPs, etc.) A sea kayak is defined as 14 feet or longer, with a keyhole or ocean style cockpit, bulkheads or float bags and has perimeter deck lines.
9. Boats must be cleaned before bringing them into the pool. No sand, mud, leaves on your boat or in the cockpit or hatches.
