RICKA is offering four winter pool practice sessions at the South County YMCA,
 

165 Broad Rock Road, Peace Dale, RI 02883.
 



These sessions are open to RICKA members only and are a great opportunity to sharpen your rolling and rescue skills and perhaps meet some like-minded paddlers. If you are not a RICKA member, you can 
join RICKA here.  
The sessions will be from January 11, 2026, February 1, 2026, March 1, 2026 and March 22, 2026
from 12:15 to 1:45
. 

These sessions are a great opportunity to sharpen your rolling and rescue skills, and perhaps meet some like-minded paddlers. You must be a RICKA member to attend. The cost is $20 for ACA members (please provide you ACA member number when registering) and $30 if you are not an ACA member.

Doors open at 11:45, and we must be out of the pool building by 1:45. Boats must be clean and free of sand and seaweed. All participants must bring a driver’s license, which will be copied and retained by the YMCA. The YMCA requires this since there is a daycare on site.

Please contact Rich Coupland at rlcoupland@msn.com to register and for more information. The South County YMCA is located at 165 Broad Rock Road, Peace Dale, RI 02883. Upon entering the parking lot the pool entrance is to the left of the main entrance.
