2011 Outrigger/Marathon Course &
Program Descriptions
There are two fee structures for the 2011 season.

Structured coaching sessions will be offered 2-3 x per week during
the season with the focus on the busy months May-August. This
program is for experienced paddlers looking for challenging 90+
minute workouts.

sessions focused on technique, intervals, V1, small boats, race
prep. Team leader – Lynda Roberts.
Cost: $245 plus your Club membership, plus your CORA or AB
marathon fees (depending on your race intentions). Full for 2011.
2. Boat access/Part time coaching This program allows paddlers access to all OC and marathon
boats. Access to small boats is limited during coached sessions Tues
am, Thurs evening and Sat am. Competitive paddlers have boat
priority during these slots. For boat use at all other times it will
be on a first come first serve basis.

an regular occurrence. All members are welcome to attend. A variety
of fun team boats will be set up followed by a BBQ on the deck

*All new paddlers to the Club and program must go through an
orientation session or coach led session prior to taking out any
boats, contact
Lynda for info.
All paddlers will sign out in the Adult
Competitive sign out book. Boat bay staff will oversee the sign out
process so please cooperate. This is to ensure boat priority is
given to coached led program participants as well as security and
safety reasons.
