Stand Up Paddleboard (SUP) classes have begun at the Darien YMCA. The Y offers a variety of classes including PaddleFit Intro, SUP Fitness, SUP Yoga, and SUP Pilates. Registration is available online or at the front desk. Unlike many Stand Up Paddleboard rental establishments, the Y paddleboard programs are taught by the best instructors, emphasize fitness, and use only high-quality boards tailored for paddleboard workouts in a safe, serene location.
The YMCA offers the tranquil Holly Pond as the backdrop for these classes. Because Holly Pond is a sheltered inlet, the waters are more docile than those of the Long Island Sound, making Stand Up Paddleboarding much easier and a wide variety of SUP fitness classes and workouts possible. In addition, all SUP instructors at the Darien Y are First Aid and Lifeguard certified, as well as Paddlefit certified, making them experts in both fitness and safety.
