This is not a CW sponsored event. We just think it is a good activity for members.

New Open Pool time in Evergreen!

Thanks to a lot of volunteer work from CW members, the Wulf Recreation Center in Evergreen is going to start hosting open pool sessions for kayakers on Saturdays!!! It will be open to everyone from 2-3:45pm. It will cost $15/session and CW membership is not required. Pay online (link to come) or in person when you arrive.

They are doing the rest of 2024 as a trial run and assuming some people show up, they'll likely keep it going in 2025. So please attend on Saturdays starting December 7th!!!

Recreation Center Rules

Please follow the rules so that we continue to have access to pools. The volunteers at CW work really hard to find pools and convince them to let us practice, it would be a shame for someone to ruin it for everyone.

• Enter directly to the pool deck through the side doors next to the flagpole. 
• When you arrive, please show proof of payment to the lifeguard on duty if they ask for it (phone screen receipt is fine). If you haven't paid online, walk around to the front desk and pay in person.
• Please rinse your boat on the pool deck before entering the water.
• DO NOT SEAL LAUNCH FROM THE TILE! This pool does not have a metal edge but it has a huge flat concrete gutter. Seal launching from the tile will break or rip off tiles and will very quickly make us not invited back. Instead, place your boat sideways in the gutter (or in the water next to the gutter if you want to test your balance!), then get in, then scootch into the water. 
• The building closes at 4pm so you and your boat must also be out of the building by 4pm. The lifeguards might give you some leeway if you help put the lane lines back at the end of the session.
