Take your fitness to a new level

Picture

Our training times are:   
Saturday mornings 'on water' at 10 am 

Tuesday 'on water' at 6 pm
(arrive at least 15 mins prior start time)


​New paddlers are welcome to 'Come & Try' at any session and
 are entitled to 
four free sessions prior to deciding to join


Due to Covid restrictions and being off the water for an extended period, our 2020/21 training season has already begun. 
New paddlers are most welcome. 
Now is a great time to learn the technique before our race
​season begins in September 2020

Summer Training
During the race season (September to April), SADA trains three times a week at Aquatic Reserve, Bower Road, West Lakes. 
Training sessions are approximately two hours in total, including warm-up, boat loading, training itself, cool-down and storing of the boats. Actual time on the water is approximately one hour. 
Often members get together after training for a coffee or a meal. A great opportunity to to get to know each other a little better. 


Winter Training (Optional)
The club continues to train through the winter off-season meeting once a week, usually on a Tuesday evening.  For many members this is a favourite time of the year to train as the waters are generally calm & we paddle under the stars.
Tuesdays at Aquatic Reserve, West Lakes at 6pm


​Training Gear
This is a water sport where fashion is not a concern but safety and comfort are.
  • Rash shirt or T-shirt, shorts, leggings or 3/4 pants,
  • waterproof shoes (Crocs or boat shoes),
  • sunglasses, water bottle,
  • hat, sunscreen 
  • a pair of non-slip gloves (fingerless cycling gloves work well)
  • Paddles are available to borrow for training sessions, as are life jackets for those who prefer to wear one.  Life jackets must be worn in winter​

Racing & Regattas
This is where the grit and determination really kicks in!  We enjoy the competition and always give it a red hot go as we power down the lanes.  Medals are the best and we love to celebrate after a great day of racing.  ​
