RACING SCHEDULE
Paddlers must participate in designated local regattas to be considered for the team going to CCWC.
Additional regattas may be added based on team desire and fundraising.
CREW SELECTION CRITERIA
Crew selection will be based on a combination of paddling technique and boat blend, fitness testing results, and OC1 time trial results. Fitness testing will include bench press, lat pulldowns, inverted or full pull ups (paddler choice), timed planks and flexibility tests. OC1 time trials will include 5km, 2km, and sprint distance evaluations. More information on fitness testing and OC1 time trials to become available as final camp dates are planned and organized. Paddler attitude, personal development, attendance and previous racing experience will be considered to differentiate otherwise similar paddlers.
All program athletes are expected to continue training hard for both those seasons, and to limit absences due to holidays and personal events during the period between February – July, as we need the whole crew to be present as much as possible during the prime training and racing season.
