Balmy Beach Canoe Club

Masters

The Masters Sprint Canoe and Kayak Program is an adult paddling program for participants aged 25 and over, welcoming paddlers of all experience levels, from complete beginners to experienced racers.

Masters paddlers train in a supportive, social, and team-oriented environment that balances skill development, fitness, and enjoyment of the sport. Training includes both canoe and kayak in a variety of boat types, including single, double, four-person, and larger team boats such as C15s.

The program is well suited for adults looking to try a new sport, improve fitness, or reconnect with competitive paddling in a flexible and encouraging setting. Many participants join with little or no paddling experience, making this a welcoming entry point into sprint canoe and kayak.

During the summer season, Masters paddlers have opportunities to participate in weekend regattas that are tailored to a wide range of abilities. For those interested, the season culminates with the CanMas Masters National Championships, which includes novice racing categories for newer paddlers.

Off-season training focuses on maintaining fitness and technique through activities such as swimming, running, and strength training.
