Please adhere to the following guidelines:

There’s a large fenced concrete pad area for staging boats just outside the pool on 12th Street. Do not bring you boat inside the pool facility until the organizer clears entry with pool personnel. Please move your car after you unload your boat to make room for others. There’s adequate parking just down the street.

Please arrive with a clean boat. There is a hose inside the facility to wash the chlorine off your gear before leaving.

Lockers that can be secured with a lock are available. Bring your own lock or rent one for $1. People usually stow their belongings in their gear bag pool side but it’s up to you. The facility also has a changing area and showers.

Helmets are strongly encouraged, especially if you are planning to roll. The pool has a shallow and deep end. A snorkel mask will help prevent chlorine from getting into your nose and eyes.

This must be signed off by the Trips Director or Safety Director before the event.
