		<title>What to do at the pool</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Often, there is the perception that open pool sessions are really only for the more skilled kayaker who wants to practice rolling over the winter, or perhaps wants to learn how to roll. While pool sessions are very useful for those two goals, beginning paddlers should also take advantage of pool practice over the winter.  [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On a cold, rainy fall day at the end of the paddling season, here are a few things that a canoeist/kayaker can be thinking about.

If you&#8217;ve worked on improving your skills all summer, perhaps it&#8217;s time to consider purchasing a dry suit to extend your season.
