  Sunday Social Paddle. Watch the #kayak Slack channel for changes to the schedule or cancellation. 

  We'll meet at 10:00am for a 10:30am launch.  Note new time and day because of shortening evenings and wind picking up in the afternoons.
  

  This is a member run, weekly kayak and a chance to meet other paddlers - perhaps plan future excursions.  We will try to have a group leader for each social event.  The socials will vary depending on the group, from just a nice easy paddle to slightly more strenuous.  The group will stay together for the social. 

  Launch from the beach at 10:30!  So, aim to meet at 10:00am to get organized. 

  Guests & new members:  NEW MEMBERS ARE WELCOME (provided you have kayaking experience)!  Check with the Kayak Director to see if someone might be able to sign you out as a guest and that you have suitable skills to join the social paddle. You may also bring a guest who has kayak paddling experience (remember you are responsible for guests & equipment you sign out).      

  Please register for the event, and cancel if you can't make it so others know if they will have company.  Please check if others are registered before turning up, unless you're happy to paddle alone.  

  Weather permitting - we'll probably cancel if its raining or winds higher than 20km/h. Please watch the #kayak channel on Club Locarno Slack for last minute changes. 

  If you'd like to sponsor a social kayak join the #kayak-social-paddle-leaders slack channel.

  Kayak Pool Practice at Lord Byng Pool

  This event is open to all Club Locarno members and all levels of kayaker, beginner to advanced. 90min of pool time.
  

  Meet at 5:45pm at JSCA for 7-8:30pm pool time
  

  Why attend: Pool time is an excellent opportunity to practice your wet exits, self rescues, assisted rescues or rolling technique in a friendly, safe and warm environment. This is also a great opportunity to connect with other Club Locarno kayakers and plan trips for the coming paddle season. You can practice or learn how to load and safely karry kayaks on kars.
  

  We'll have six boats in the pool with a paddler. We can also have one 'helper' per kayak in the pool to coach and assist. 
  

  We'll meet at JSCA at 5:45pm to load boats and gear onto the cars - we need at least three cars that can safely carry kayaks (roof rack bars preferred). 

  What to bring: Bring your swim suit, rash shirt and towel. Also, bring swim goggles as being able to see clearly under the water really helps orient yourself when upside down. Nose clips if you don't like water up your nose. 

  Lord Byng Pool Rules:

  • Only kayakers and active helpers in the pool. There are no swimmers or floaters
  • Kayakers must were a PFD. 
  • Helpers must be competent swimmers or wear a PFD
  • Rental is 90min, sharp (7pm-8:30pm). So we need to have the boats unloaded from the cars and ready to carry in before 7pm
  • No food or drink on the pool deck please
  • You must sign the Lord Byng waiver before entering the pool

  There are four pool sessions planned.  Depending on demand for this event, we may limit the number of pool seasons you can join. We need at least three cars and drivers, so we may need to give preference to those members who can help with transportation.
