rfolster Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Pool sessions at the Haverhill High School for the upcoming winter season are now available for purchase in the Store. These sessions are offered as a benefit to being a paid member of NSPN, and therefore are only available to active members. If you are experiencing any issues with your membership, please email Membership@NSPN.org and we will work as quickly as possible to resolve it. As in years past, we are required to have club insurance in order to use the pool facilities, so we are using the ACA club insurance program again. You will need to download the ACA Adult Liability Waiver form here, or in the Downloads section of the message board and print one for EACH pool session you will attend. You will not be allowed to participate in a pool session if you do not complete a Liability Waiver form for that session. Each pool session spot will cost $25, but if you are not an ACA member, you will need to pay the additional $5 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 $30 for individuals, which will be "paid back" in only six 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 an ACA Waiver and pay the $5 Event Fee if they are not an ACA member. The Saturday sessions will be between 1:00pm-3:00pm, and the Sunday sessions will be 11:00am-1:00pm. The dates for the sessions are as follows: Saturday, January 5 Saturday, January 19 Sunday, January 27 Saturday, February 9 Saturday, February 23 Saturday, March 9 Saturday, March 16 Sunday, March 24 Pool sessions can only be purchased through the Store using PayPal for payment. For those of you that do not have a PayPal account, you can do a one-time transaction through PayPal using a credit card without creating a PayPal account if you don't want to, or create an account instantly if you so choose. It is very easy to do, but if you have trouble, email Membership@NSPN.org or Private Message me and I will help you out.Please follow these instructions for pool session purchases: Click on this link to go to the list of pool session dates (or access them through the Store link in the blue top banner on the message board) Choose the pool session date that you want to attend and click Add To Cart If you are not an ACA member, you must Add To Cart the $5 Event Fee, otherwise Add To Cart the ACA Active Member In the next window, don't worry about the Associate This Package option and just click Add To Cart again If you would like to add another pool session, click on Continue Shopping, otherwise skip to Step #8 Select Pool Sessions from the Product Categories list on the left Repeat steps #2-#4 for each pool session you want to add (you must add the $5 event fee to each session if not an ACA member) When you are ready to pay for your selections, click Checkout and then Confirm My Order. You will be taken to PayPal to pay for your order. We cannot issue any refunds unless the pool facility closes due to inclement weather or other reasons. If you are unable to attend a pool session after purchase and would like to let someone else purchase the session from you, you must make those arrangements on your own. We will try to post a reminder for each session to which you can look for someone to purchase your slot, or start a new posting if you choose. They must bring their own ACA Liability Release form, and pay the $5 Event Fee if required. All pool sessions are offered in partnership with the ACA and are ACA sanctioned events.

kattenbo Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Quick question - I've got one of the ACA Paddle America Club Annual Adult Waivers. Is a print copy of that sufficient for the pool session? Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ACA is still working out some of its membership practices, and we're still working out how to deal with them. I don't see you listed with ACA as a member of NSPN as a PAC. A paper waiver (with your ACA member number) would help, at least for now. Thanks, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kattenbo Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Hi Mike - no problem - I've already printed out their version of the waiver - I'll have it with me. Thanks. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rfolster Posted February 10, 2019 Author Share Posted February 10, 2019 The lifeguard for today's pool session has called in sick. They are trying to get a replacement, but won't be until this afternoon - still waiting on a time frame. If you had signed up for this session and have not yet been in touch with me about it, please check your Messages or email. Thanks, Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rmrand Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Hi. i am trying to pay for a slot 2/23 and 3/9 or 3/16 (I thought the 3/9 was closed, but I would take the 2 slots 3/9 and 3/16 together preferably) and I can't the website to work. I can get one session in the cart but when i go to pay there is nothing there. I can't seem to add the $5 fee. Please let me know what I can do to hold these slots and pay. Thanks, Romaine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rfolster Posted February 19, 2019 Author Share Posted February 19, 2019 Sorry you are having trouble Romaine. The March 9th session has filled since the last update, so no spots are available unless someone decides they can't go and offer up their spot. Someone else told me recently that they were not able to purchase multiple sessions, and had to purchase them one at a time. Please give that a try, and if that doesn't resolve the issues you are experiencing, then email membership@nspn.org so we can diagnose the issue in more detail.

rfolster Posted February 23, 2019 Author Share Posted February 23, 2019 Update: Well, as of the moment I post this, there is one spot left for the March 24th session. The other two March sessions are sold out, along with today's session. Therefore, if you are unable to make a session that you have reserved, PLEASE post here so that someone who might want to take your spot can make arrangements to do so. Thanks!
