U16 & U15 Winter Training 2018-2019
Winter training is a key component of becoming a canoe/kayak athlete. The goals are to improve strength, fitness, technique, and efficient training habits that will set athletes up for future success and to work with the coaches to meet their personal goals.
Strength sessions are held at the RCC gym; swimming and pool padding sessions are held at Carleton University pool, and running & skiing sessions will be held at Mooney's Bay & on the Rideau Canal. The cost of these facility rentals is included in the program fee, but athletes are responsible for their own equipment. If you choose not to purchase skis, a running program will be provided.
Canoers will have a key technical session for approximately 25 minutes during the swim sessions, and on the erg throughout Saturday weights. Kayakers will have their key technical session on Saturdays for 30 minutes after weights, and either Tuesday or Thursday after weights (as scheduled by their coach).
