Want to join our team?
Although we are a sociable group, we are also a competitive racing team. Over the years we have made significant gains in our race results. We are always committed to getting stronger and faster for our next season. To that end, we are looking for male and female candidates who are in good health, who are physically fit, and who are willing to work hard at all practice/training sessions. Working hard at practice enables us to race well. In short, we are looking for members willing to become 'paddlers' not 'passengers.’
Here’s a look at your commitment:
March to September we paddle Monday and Thursday evenings: 5:30 – 7 p.m.
October and November we paddle Saturday mornings and do yoga with an instructor on Wednesdays, and dryland fitness training with an instructor on Thursdays (Dryland training is designed to improve our strength and stamina; yoga increases our flexibility and our focus in the boat.)
December to February we take off
By early March, we resume Saturday morning paddling as weather conditions allow
Race season runs from April through September, and races take place on select weekends in locations such as around the Vancouver Lower Mainland, Vancouver Island, Harrison Lake, Steveston and possibly the USA.
Time and commitment are essential components of being a member of our team.
*You must also maintain an annual membership at Dogwood Pavilion, which means you must be 50+ years in age.
Please note that our roster is currently full, however we can waitlist you. We do look at taking on new members each year.
