farWe'll meet at the Austin Kayak Storage Shed located at Texas Rowing Center. Map directions to the storage shed can be found below. On your first lesson, we will go over the basics of paddling, provide safety information, and get you geared up. We will help get you setup with a sit-on-top kayak rental from the Texas Rowing Center. Kayak rentals cost $15.00 per hour, you will be able to use the club gear for free after your first lesson.
At 6:45 p.m. you will paddle a short distance in your sit-on-top kayak rental to the pitch, We'll warm up a bit, and you will be provided with hands on instructions on the basics of how to play kayak polo. You can also check out the rules page for more information. As soon as the briefing is over, we'll start the best part...playing kayak polo games!
At 8:15 p.m. - 8:30 p.m. after an awesome game, we'll paddle back in our kayaks to the Texas Rowing Center and put our gear away.
What to bring:
The only thing you need is swimwear, a towel, and $15.00 for the kayak rental. Everything else will be provided. Our shed has a lock on it and you'll be able to store your personal belongings, towels, shoes, etc.
