The CCE Paddling Club is hosting kayaking pool sessions at the Cheam Leisure Centre on Sunday mornings from 8:30 to 10 a.m. These sessions run until the end of March, and will focus on differing themes each week: youth paddlers, water polo, and rolling techniques.

Club equipment is available, and the boat trailer is on site by 8 a.m. — show up early to get your gear and maximize pool time with your friends. A CCE coach will be in the water every Sunday.

The cost is $10 per session for youth paddler and water polo, and $15 per session for rolling techniques. Register at www.chilliwackcentreofexcellence.sportical.com/events.

Check the CCE website at www.ccekayak.com for membership and up-to-date information on what is scheduled for each Sunday.

Beginner lessons will also be starting soon in the pool.
