PACKAGE DETAILS AND PRICING INFORMATION:

HOW DO I JOIN THE MERMAID SQUAD AND OTHER QUESTIONS:

How do I become a member?
You can join our Squad through the “Customer Area” at the bottom of our website and choosing the “membership” option.

What are the terms of the Fall 2018 Mermaid Squad memberships? 
Our Membership packages must be paid in full up front. The classes in the package are good for 3 months from when you purchase the package, but ending Dec 31, 2018.

If I am a member, can I just show up or do I still need to register for class?
You must still register online for each deck and SUP class. You will be given credit depending on which package option you choose. Spots are still limited to 10 people for deck, SUP and Mesquite Street. And sign-ups are on a first come, first serve basis.

Will the SUP and Deck class packages be available to non-members?
No. Currently, all classes for non-members will be at the regular rate per class. If you already purchased a SUP or Deck class package, it will still be honored and you will be able to continue to use the credits from the packages.

What if I already have purchased a package and have credits left, but I want to join the Squad?
Give us a call or message us and will be able to either roll your classes into your membership or give you a discount on your membership.

I have a busy schedule, what if I cannot make several of the weekly classes or the runs?
We know you are busy and everyone has a different schedule. This is why we’ve made the deck and Mesquite Street classes unlimited! It is an incredibly good deal even if you can only make 1 or 2 classes a week, but we hope you can make more! In addition, our weekly Express Yoga class will be video recorded and you will be sent this class online to do at the convenience of you home if you cannot make it!

Do I have to be a member to join the run/walks?
No, anyone can join, but if you are not a member we ask for a $5 donation .

What if I want more SUP classes than are in my membership or what if I want to book Special Events that are not included in my membership?
As a member you will get a 20% discount on all additional classes and workshops including SUP classes and special events like Full Moon Yoga & SUP with your PUP. You will also receive 20% off all Water Dog gear like tanks, shirts and water bottles!

NEW: PARTNERSHIP WITH THE EXCHANGE:

Water Dog is so excited about our new partnership with The Exchange, located 5mins from the boat deck in downtown Corpus Christi on Mesquite Street! Each Sunday, participants in Paddle Conditioning will receive a coupon for a FREE MIMOSA with the purchase of a regular brunch!
