Comfortable upside-down waiting for an assisted rescue
Actively working toward a roll or self-reliant with your wet exit and re-entry (having a roll is strongly recommended)
Competent with intermediate to advanced paddling skills and strokes
Actively learning and seeking advice for intermediate to advanced kayak polo skills, strategies and rules.

The pool becomes available at 8:00pm. If arriving later than 8:30pm, please let someone know so we can open the door… or be prepared to wave from the door and wait till someone sees you!
