Join the Redwater Curling Club for some winter fun

By Myrina Carter

The Redwater Curling Club has the arena ice ready to be played on. They are fully prepared to host some curling fun and are located at 4944 53 Street. The club offers adult curling to anyone interested in the game; no experience is required. The club also provides junior curling Mondays from seven to eight  thirty p.m. for ages six to eighteen, and the only requirement is to bring clean shoes. The cost is $20.00 for the whole curling season and it is ready for your visit.

There are many benefits to joining curling, and it is an aerobic sport and excellent exercise for anyone playing the game. Working out in the cold can allow your body to burn off more calories, and all the walking you do back and forth on the ice works out to be about two miles per game. When players make the sweeping motion while directing the rock down the ice, it increases their heart rate and helps to improve their cardiovascular system. On top of its health benefits, curling proves time and time again to be a great way to socialize and meet new people, especially when you join a club in your community. Many curlers acquire a lot of knowledge about precision, learning the proper speed, power and spin while throwing the curling rock down the ice.

Join the Redwater Curling Club to be a part of your local community and to be a part of a team. All are welcome, whether you are new and just learning or if you have a ton of experience. Visit the curling club at 4944 53 Street and inquire within or contact Derek at 780-718-1841.
