A good “tuck” position protects you form the rover bottom and puts you in a good position to initiate the roll. It may seem contrary but the last thing to come out of the water is your head. Good rolling confidence sets you up for growing your paddling skillset.

This weekend is our last two rolling sessions. They are a few spots left for each day. Head to the website to register for the open pool access or a class.
