Summer Programs Beginner Sprint Program High Perform. Sprint Progr. Junior Sprint Program Paddling Technique Development War Canoe Program

This program is for experienced and beginner paddlers, suitable to those interested in flatwater and open water paddling. Our coaches will work with you to improve your paddling technique for whatever you personal goals. This includes racers who want to learn to paddle faster and inexperienced paddlers who want to learn to paddle well as part of a healthy lifestyle.

The technique development program provides twice per month coaching with the sole focus of the sessions being for the coach to analyse your technique and to provide feedback on how to help you paddle better. Participants can attend as many or as few of the sessions as they would like. The idea is for the coach to provide the paddler with some technique improvement strategies to work on between sessions.
