Collection: Fall 2021

Autumn is a beautiful time for paddlers on the reservoir with time to build on the skills introduced in the summer and prepare the foundation for the next.

NEW PADDLERS for the fall season go here.

Generally, the focus of fall training is skill development and aerobic conditioning. However, fall activities will be primarily on-water but will incorporate running, calisthenics and other activities appropriate to the athletes’ stage of development. Athletes should attend each session prepared for a mix of on-water and on-land activities.

The Calgary Canoe Club program follows a long-term athlete development model with practice sessions increasing each year, with age. The below table outlines the fall schedule for each age group. Age groups are in line with the 2022 competitive season.

Weather in the Fall is iffy: If the temperature reaches 5 degrees and wet (rain, sleet, snow) there will be no practice. Please contact your coach. 

Note: Starting October 16 paddlers will transition to Off-Water Training. By November 1st, all paddlers will be off the water. Winter Training activities will continue as the team prepares for the new spring and summer.  

** Special Dates in Fall** Sept 10 weekend Away regatta (cancelled), Sept 25th (rowing regatta). If these occur no training will occur at home. No training Sept 6 for Labor day and  October 11th for Thanksgiving Monday, No SWIMMING HALLOWEEN.
