Kayak Practices

  • Purdue CoRec DiveWell 355 N Martin Jischke Dr West Lafayette, IN, 47906 United States (map)

Come just us for Kayak practices! Kayak practices are a time and place where boaters of all skill levels can gather and learn a thing or two about whitewater kayaking (and hang out). NO KAYAKING EXPERIENCE REQUIRED!! Your awesome whitewater leadership will teach you everything you need to know; everything from how to roll your kayak to more detailed information about what to expect on your next POC whitewater kayaking trip.

What do you need to bring to a Kayak Practice? Woah, another great question. Here's a lil list:

  • yourself

  • swimming outfit (whatever you feel comfortable swimming/getting wet in) (I'm partial to swim shorts and a one piece)

  • towel

  • dry clothes to put on after (usually you come wearing these so don't think too hard about this one)

  • The desire to learn and have fun!

Where is the Dive Well? Jeez, you're on fire with these questions. Here's a detailed explanation of how to get yourself there!

  • Swipe into Corec

  • Take the stairs down one level. Upon leaving the stair well, take a right into the narrow hallway, this opens up into part of the aquatics area (Corec locker rooms on your left and a pool on your right)

  • You will turn right and walk towards the pool, but there will be a very long hallway on your left next to massive mural of a kid swimming. This hallway leads to a different pool area where you need to go.

  • Follow the long hallway, pass through the solid double doors and you are almost there.

  • As you follow the left turning hallway, go through your respective aquatics locker rooms and you will enter the competition pool and dive well area. We are on the left by the diving boards.

  • Congrats you made it, go vibe in the hot tub until it's time to roll.
