Description

Seniors paddling is a great way to stay fit and social with other fabulously 'vintage' paddlers. Our workouts are gentle but effective, and our coaches are always encouraging and positive. 

No experience? No problem—we’ll teach you everything you need to know. Everyone moves at their own pace, but we always finish together!

Language used during coaching

Primarily English (coach is bilingual)

Location

795 Tweddle Rd, Orléans, ON

Schedule

Meet your coach and teammates at the boathouse 15 minutes before the session begins.

Find your lifejacket and paddle, grab your water bottle, and head down to the beach for your warmup.

Please let us know in advance if you will need assistance getting down to the beach, or if you will need help carrying your equipment.

Please come on time- it's best for everyone if we can predictably leave the dock on time.

We plan to be back at the dock about 5 minutes before the end of practice. 

After practice, we put our equipment away, speak to the coach if we like, and hang out with our crew!

Equipment provided

Petrie Island Canoe Club will provide all paddling equipment.

What to bring

Please arrive dressed to get wet! Good paddling clothes are close-fitting and dry quickly. Bring a water bottle, sandals, a hat, a towel, and a warm change of clothes.
