Pool sessions at the Haverhill High School for the 2023 winter season are now available for purchase in the Store.  These sessions are offered as a benefit to paid members of NSPN, and therefore are only available to active members. If you are experiencing any issues with your membership, please email [email protected] and we will work as quickly as possible to resolve it.  As in years past, we are required to have insurance in order to use the pool facilities, so we are using the ACA club insurance program again. You need to sign the online ACA Liability Waiver for 2023 here.
Each pool session spot will cost $30, but if you are not an ACA member, you will need to pay the additional $10 ACA Event Fee per session.  You can become an ACA member by signing up here and selecting North Shore Paddlers Network from the Paddle America Clubs drop-down list.  The annual membership fee is $40, which will be "paid back" in only four pool sessions since there is no Event Fee for ACA members.
These sessions are a great way to keep existing skills active over the cold winter months or work on new skills for the upcoming paddling season.  Although NSPN does not offer official instruction, many members are willing to offer whatever assistance they can while they are at the pool.  However, if you would like to pay for professional instruction, you can seek out an instructor directly, either from NSPN members (some of who are actually certified!) or from other professional instructors.  If the instructor will have a boat in the pool, they will need a pool session spot purchased.  If they are only going to instruct from the poolside, then they do not need a spot.  Regardless, all attendees (whether in the pool or instructing poolside) MUST have signed an online ACA Waiver and paid the $10 Event Fee if they are not an ACA member. 
Pool sessions can only be purchased through the Store using PayPal for payment. If you don't have a PayPal account, you can do a one-time transaction through PayPal using a credit card without creating a PayPal account, or create an account instantly if you choose. It is very easy to do, but if you have trouble, email [email protected] or Private Message me and I will help you out.
