On Wednesday, the UI Swim Center transformed into a kayak training zone. These “Open Kayak Pool Sessions” are organized by the Outdoor Program. The students who attended learned essential skills including paddle, flip and navigating in a kayak for nearly two hours. If you missed the session on Aug. 28, there will be another on Sep. 4. The cost to attend the session is $10 and the equipment is included. If water sports are your thing, this may be worth your time!
