Rolling Progression Pool Class

Fidalgo Pool and Fitness Center Fidalgo Island, Anacortes, WA

Kayaking in a pool offers a warm, sheltered, and controlled environment to practice rescue and rolling skills. Learning in a comfortable environment allows you to focus fully on the technique and not on what might be underwater or downstream. Our coaches are supportive and break the skills down into their parts so the students gain a full understanding of each technique.
