Notes about Programming

However if the conditions are not considered safe, (air quality due to fire, severe wind, lightning etc), at the club's discretion, practices will be "made-up" on another day. There are no refunds if the Athlete is unable to attend a regular session or a make-up session.
Age Range for Paddling
• Age Ranges are not fixed - the ages have been selected both for the type of programming and the expectation for endurance.
• Think about your child's endurance capacity and stamina when registering.
