Locations to facilities in the greater Portland Metro area that have pool sessions for kayakers. Some locations for other areas outside Portland are also included (eg Salem, Eugene, etc...).
Please note that any references to time and dates of sessions may be wildly inaccurate. Please call each facility ahead of time to verify that the pool will be open for your use. If you find any schedule differences, please post a comment on the appropriate pool session page. (or email the webmaster).
This is a quick compilation of greater Portland metro area pools that allow kayakers in for pool sessions. Some pool times and session information is provided for other area towns (eg Salem, Eugene, Corvallis, etc).
Please note day and time may change without our knowledge. Please contact each pool before showing up for a session. Pools will often cancel or change times if they think noone is going to show up. Please see each pool's indivudual page for location, pool hours, directions, or other important information.
This list is not comprehensive to all pools in the area that allow pool sessions, it's only to the best of our knowledge. Please email the webmaster if you find any day/time discrepencies so this page can get updated correctly. Thanks!
Listing by day of week:
NOTICE: All PDX Adventure Racer members are expected to be curteous to any and all staff at these pools. Follow their directions to the letter, even if you think they're being absurd. Follow up with the persons manager - after you have done as requested.
Please insure your boats are clean and in good working order so as not to pollute the pools. Be prompt about the times. Be curteous to other non PDXAR members that may be in the pool. Thank you!
Note on military time format: For times greater than 12:00 (noon), subtract 12:00 from the military time to get the PM time (eg 21:30 - 12:00 = 9:30pm).
