What happens at training?

  • Sign your attendance in the book. 
  • We take the cover of the boat and set it up ready to paddle.
  • 10 minute team warm up.
  • The Coach organises the seating of the boat - stokes, boat is weight evenly.
  • One hour on the water working drills, technique, starts, 200m & 500m races, endurance.
  • Week days the boat is back on shore at 7am to allow the paddlers who are required to leave for work.  The rest of the paddlers wash down the boat and gear.
  • Sundays is more relaxed, everyone stays and helps wash down the boat and equipment and pack away. This is followed by tea/coffee, laughter and chatter.
