Paddle for fun... Race to Win

​

The Saskatoon Racing Canoe Club (SRCC) began in 1985 in preparation for the 1989 Canada Summer Games in Saskatoon. The club is dedicated to provide training in sprint canoe and kayak racing. It promotes discipline, excellence and sportsmanship among its athletes. Flat water kayaking and canoeing are Olympic sports in which Canada is one of the strongest nations. The Saskatoon Racing Canoe Club adds to the national success.

What is Sprint Canoe / Kayak

​

Flat water sprint racing is a contest of speed, strength and endurance in which athletes compete head to head on calm bodies of water. Paddlers train and compete in canoes and/or kayaks as singles, in pairs or in fours over a variety of distances. Paddlers race in lanes separated by markers over 200m, 500m, 1000m and longer distances on straight, one way courses.
