The city of Warsaw Parks and Recreation Department is offering six paddleboarding clinics this summer at Pike Lake Beach, just north of the swimming beach pier). This new program for beginners, teenagers and adults (ages 12 and up) will focus on basic balance, coordination and paddling skills while sitting or standing on a lightweight, easy-to-maneuver padded surfboard. Clinics are led by an experienced paddleboard instructor. Clinic fee is only $8 per person and includes the board, lifejacket and paddle. A waiver and rules sheet must be signed by each participant, and must be signed by parent for anyone under the age of 18. Participants must register by 4 p.m. the day before each scheduled clinic, and there is no registration day of the event. Clinic dates are Saturday from 11 a.m. to noon; June 29 from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m.; July 11 from 11 a.m. to noon; July 20 from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m.; Aug. 8 from 11 a.m. to noon; and Aug. 24 from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. Interested participants can register in person Monday through Friday between 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Parks and Recreation Department office, or call the office at 574-372-9554.
