New Mexico Kayak Instruction is pleased to offer the first official, 4-week open-to-the-public kids kayak class in Albuquerque for kids 9 - 13 years old. This 4-week series will include 12 hours of pool instruction covering basic strokes and concepts to effortless paddling, fun skills-building games including Ultimate Kayak Frisbee, Indoor Slalom and Kayak Polo. The last week will wrap up with an introduction to the kayak roll1.

Upon completion of this course, most kids should be competent kayaking on flat water, such as Cochiti Lake or easy rivers such as the Rio Grande Bosque.

The 4-week series will take place on the following dates2:

  1. January 29th, 4 - 7pm, at Los Altos Pool
  2. February 12th, 4 - 7pm, at Los Altos Pool
  3. February 26th, 4 - 7pm, at Los Altos Pool
  4. March 11th, 4 - 7pm, at Los Altos Pool

An optional trip on the Rio Grande Bosque may be offered at the end of this course.

1 The kayak roll will be taught at the instructor's discretion based on each individual child's comfort and proficiency in a skirted kayak, as well as their ability to follow directions and overall comfort level being upside down in the water.

2 One free make-up session will be offered in conjunction with our regular 2nd or 4th Wednesday 'Kayak Pool Party' at Los Altos Pool, on Wednesday nights from 8 - 10pm

Kelly is friendly and professional and seems to know what he is talking about and an absolutely wonderful teacher.  Kelly is very professional, sincere and a dedicated teacher.  He worked very hard to teach me, and I was able to roll within 20 minutes of his instruction. Rest of the evening was one roll after another.  I hope he can continue to hold more similar clinics on other advanced techniques.  Thank you Kelly. Amit.
