grand finale OKCC pool session

Tonight marks the final OKCC pool session of the season at Clackamas Aquatic Center. Scott W. might be able to score a squirt boat from Joel M. for me to try out, which would be interesting, as I've never been in one on the water. Scott and I will help Luke get boats to the pool tonight. I helped some folks with rolls last month, and got quite a thrill out of seeing the joy they felt when they nailed it. I'll split my time between helping folks out and working on my own skills tonight. It's a fun time.

Update. What a great way to end the season of pool sessions! I was able to throw a half-dozen ends in a row. I can cartwheel reliably now...if I'm in a RAD 175, RAD 185, or a squirt boat. :)

Scott brought a Bigfoot (squirt boat), and I gave it a go. The wave machine was on already, so my first squirt experience was a wobbly one. Without the proper outfitting, I could only stand a few minutes, but I was able to cartwheel some and easily roll that (medieval torture device disguised as a) boat. I'm stoked to do more squirt boating, for sure. In the short term, I need to practice and get in shape for the upcoming Northwest Creek Comp, though.
