18-20 persons paddling at any given time. The strokes sit at front of the boat and lead the paddlers in stroke rate and timing. Drummer and lead stroke are in constant communication.
Training and Membership
We compete at regattas every year and we work for an 8 -9 weeks plan towards each regatta, so it leaves plenty of time in between to have fun and have more social paddling.
We train twice weekly, early on a Saturday morning and on Tuesday evenings with two training sessions on each day. One session is a beginners/social paddle and the other is for experienced paddlers.
We offer two sessions to anyone that wants to try out paddling and if they are happy to continue, they can join as a member. Come and Try sessions are also organised during the year.
Membership is €75 (with €60 early bird until the end of March).
