| IMPORTANT
INSURANCE CHANGE. PLEASE READ CAREFULLY.
The American Canoe Association (ACA) insures
our pool sessions. They now require that non-ACA
members pay a $10 waiver fee and sign a waiver
at each pool session
attended. The cost of ACA Membership is $40
annually.
To obtain a membership, call the ACA at 703-451-0141
or sign up on line at www.americancanoe.org.
They do take credit cards.
