Each winter/spring we teach several evening "rolling sessions" in a swimming pool. Anyone (AMC memer or not) can come to learn to do an eskimo roll in a whitewater kayak. (Pre-registration is appreciated.) In addition, we have one session dedicated to self- and assisted-rescue in a sea kayak. Rolling sessons are listed in our schedule of events, under the "learning" and "whitewater" (or "sea kayaking", as appropriate) categories.

We're also considering running a couple of classes to help newcomers get started with whitewater kayaking. The details are still being worked out. We'll provide information here when it's available.

If you are interested in some kind of paddling instruction — kayaking, canoeing, whitewater, quietwater, maritime — it wouldn't hurt to let us know (paddling@amcberkshire.org)!
