Welcome to the 2008/2009 Potomac Paddlesports "indoor" kayaking season! Our 300' pool is located at the Audrey Moore Rec Center in Annandale, Virginia. Our American Canoe Association certified instructors are mature, professional kayaking EXPERTS that are highly experienced in the art of teaching the kayak roll. Our proprietary teaching progression is in a class by itself and really breaks the roll down into separate steps you can understand and execute more quickly.

Bombproof Roll Package
If you are a beginner or you have kayaked before and need to learn to roll, or want to learn various new rolls, our Bombproof Roll Package is GUARANTEED to do the trick! We teach the Sweep, Twisting Sweep, C to C, Hand, and Back Deck Rolls (We teach the Back Deck only to those who cannot achieve more protected rolls because of special limitations.) and other variations of these both "on side" and "off side". Our unique progressions break every type of roll down into separate components for you to practice individually, develop the muscle memory, and presto! You roll! Our low student-to-instructor ratio of 5:1 offers the personalized attention you need. Our Bombproof Package includes three indoor rolling lessons.
