FYI: kayak practice at Lord Byng swimming pool has re-started. It’s a great place to practice rolling, rescues, wet exits… (not to do laps 🙂

The sessions are on Fridays, 8pm to 9pm, $11. Pool info is here:

Ted sent me a tip on how to register on line (the phone is rarely answered):

Type in: “kayak” in search word.
Days of the week: Friday
Starting date: one day before the friday you want
Then scroll down to find “lord byng pool”

I’ll be at the Lord Byng pool tomorrow for rolling practice, if anyone cares to join me.

[Vincent Law]

The rules have changed. Thx for pointing it out.

In addition to the 15 foot upper limit on length cited by Lorraine, helmets are required. This information is only apparent during the registration process. Also, contrary to earlier information, registration opens at 12 PM on Mondays for the upcoming Friday session.

I just found out from Byng pool that all kayaks must be shorter than 15 feet. So that doesn’t work for me unless someone has a shorter kayak that they’re willing to share in the future. I was able to cancel my spot for this Friday and get a full refund.

Ted and I plan to be there this coming Friday. We can assist each other w/ exercise.

Is anyone going to Byng pool for kayak practice this Friday evening? (Or any future Friday evenings?) I want to practice self rescue and attempt rolling and would love to have a buddy.
