Open kayaking and stand up paddleboarding
Take advantage of our Olympic-sized pool and informal instruction to hone in your paddling skills and learn new techniques. Both recreational kayaks and stand up paddleboards are available.
Times and dates
During the fall and spring, open kayaking is held on Tuesday nights from 8PM to 10PM. We do not hold sessions during the summer. You may arrive before 8pm to register and use the locker rooms. However, please note that personal boats will not be allowed into the pool area before 8pm (see below).
For Spring 2019, sessions run January 15 through April 30. Please note that there will not be an open kayaking session February 26 due to a swim meet, or March 26 due to Spring Break.
Cost
Open kayaking is FREE for students and members of our facility, and all boats, PFDs (life jackets), and paddles are provided. For guests and non-members, a few options are available:

Personal boats
Personal kayaks are permitted so long as they are clean and free of debris. Personal boats may be transported through the side entrance of the ONAT pool (door #14 next to Parking Lot 10) after 8pm. These doors will be open from 8-8:15pm and available for use throughout the duration of open kayaking.
