Intro to Sprint Paddling is an introductory camp for the Olympic sport of competitive Sprint Canoe Kayak for U14 aged athletes (born 2006- 2011) and provides all the necessary skills to start paddling canoes and kayaks competitively. The goal is to teach good training habits and a love for being outdoors and on the water.
Paddlers will learn about water safety rules and how to balance, paddle, and train in sprint kayaks and canoes. Each practice they will do a warm up, practice/work out, and cool down.
COVID-19 Safety Measures
- We will be running half day Summer programs to ensure that there are not too many athletes at the club at once and we can respect social distancing (see new schedule and dates below)
- The clubhouse will remain closed and we will operate out of the field, with tents or similar structures to place your bags
- The canteen is closed
- We will have a Parent/Athlete Info Meeting on Zoom to explain what to expect at camp and the safety procedures
- Athletes are asked to bring their own life jackets
- Groups will not mix with other groups
- Equipment will be sanitized after use
- Flow of traffic patterns will be in place on the hill for getting on and off the water
- Rules are in place for when athletes need to be rescued by a motorboat, or go into the boat bay to retrieve equipment
Paddlers must demonstrate a minimum swimming ability before getting in a boat. For more info on the Swim Test, click HERE.
