No. Two-deep leadership at all times. A coach or volunteer is never alone with an athlete — ever. One-on-one coaching happens on the water, in sight of other instructors and other paddlers. No private rooms. No private rides. No coach drives an athlete home, at any time, for any reason. NCSI background checks, CPR/AED, SafeSport, ACA — verified on every coach before they're ever assigned a shift. Read the full promise on the About page.

What if my athlete has never paddled?

That's most of them on day one. Week 1 is literally about standing up and falling safely. Every team starts with fundamentals.

What about getting them there? Carpool?

We coordinate the ride for you. Every practice has its own carpool plan — text us "driving" or "need a ride" once and we match families going the same direction. Most parents drive twice a month, not every time. The matching happens on a private per-practice link in your phone — no group text chaos.

What about weather?

Practice cancels for lightning within 10 miles, sustained wind over 20 mph, AQI over 150, water below 60°F, or air over 105°F. You get a text the morning of.

How do I see what my athlete earned?

You get a private magic link in your phone — texted + emailed at enrollment. Tap it any time to see badges, photos, coach notes, this week's practice details, and the carpool plan. No app to install, no password to forget.

What's included in the $895?

All 8 weeks (16 practices total). Equipment provided. Insurance. End-of-season race + family event. Photos + badges + season recap delivered to your magic link.

What if we miss a practice?

No make-ups individually, but missing a Mon doesn't kill the week — same content runs Wed/Thu. Two missed weeks in a row, we reach out.

Are practices co-ed?

Yes. Practices and race days are co-ed across the team. At championship-timing moments — the medal race in week 5 and the season-ending podium race in week 8 — athletes are only scored against athletes in their same age group, same gender, and same skill class. Compete alongside everyone, earn rankings against your own field.

Do you do races at other locations?

Not in season 1. We run our own intra-club races at Tempe Town Lake. Our PR ladders are local — every time recorded against your athlete's own previous best.

My athlete is 11. Can they enroll?

Not in season 1. The Sea Turtles team starts at 12. We may add a younger group in future seasons.

Lock in the spot.

Teams are capped at coach-ratio limits. Practices Mon–Thu, 5:30–7:00 PM at Tempe Town Lake.
