What should I wear?

We recommend shorts or leggings and a one piece bathing suit or rash guard. The surface of the log is rough, so wearing the right clothes will protect your skin. Intermediate & advanced rollers may also want water shoes.

Is it dangerous?

Although it might look dangerous, serious injuries are almost unheard of. The fact that the log is floating in the water makes the activity low impact. There are occasional abrasions and minor bruises, as can happen in any physical activity. Provided everyone follows the basic safety rules, this is a very safe activity.

What is the log made of?

The Key Log is a synthetic log made of fiberglass. It has baffles inside that make the log roll like a traditional cedar log once it is filled with water.

Do I have to be really athletic?

No. Absolutely not. You should be able to swim 25 yards unassisted and tread water for one minute. If you are uncomfortable in the water you will probably not enjoy this, but we won’t turn you away.

Is it only for kids?

No. Absolutely not. But they do really enjoy it, and please ask me about birthday parties.

Am I the worst student you’ve ever seen?

No. Absolutely not. That would be me. (I’m actually not kidding and I’d be happy to tell you how terrible I was my first… uh… six or so times out on the log if it makes you feel better.)

No, seriously. Am I the worst student you’ve ever seen? I feel like I’m really bad at this.

No, absolutely not. Log rolling is difficult to master! It is completely within average to feel like you don’t “get” it until you’ve done several classes. Did you learn to ride a bike your first time out? (If you say yes to this question then you are definitely not even in the running for “worst” log roller.) Needing practice before you master this definitely does not mean you are bad at it.

I/my family member have sensory issues/ADHD/a learning disability. Can we participate in class?

YES. Absolutely. I realize that no group class can be the perfect learning environment for every person, but PLEASE come and check us out because you are totally welcome. If you want to observe a class before you get in, that’s cool too. (Just pay the general admission fee and find a spot on the deck to watch. Or hop into the pool and watch from open swim, whatever works for you.) Private and semi-private lessons are also available.
