Campus community members at Ole Miss can kayak in the campus pool every week during Kayak Thursdays. Members of the Campus Rec staff teach kayaking skills and then students take part in challenges such as Kayak Polo, a mix of water polo and maneuvering a kayak. Lifeguards are on hand for the weekly event and the pool is fully ADA accessible, too.
Mirela Ovreiu, an instructional assistant professor of biomedical engineering at the institution, has participated every week during the past two years. “I discovered it by accident,” she told The Daily Mississippian. “I saw it online and thought I would go. I would absolutely recommend it to anybody. I even bring my students sometimes.”
Ovreiu invites students to Kayak Thursday to help them unwind and relax.
“I ended up tipping over twice,” Liam Hiddleston, a freshman general business major, told the paper. “But that was all part of the fun.”
