The Keel-haulers club has a roll instructor that will work with students on learning the kayak roll if you are interested. With this service you must email us at clevelandkeelhaulers@gmail.com and we will work to get him there to work with you personally if you take advantage of this service we request that you are or become an active paid club member.

Personal kayaks are permitted so long as they are clean and free of debris. Boats may be transported through the side entrance of the ONAT pool (door #14). Please note that these doors may not be propped open under any circumstance.
Participants may arrive up to 15 minutes early to transport kayaks to the pool deck and use the pool locker rooms.
