Tuesday nights three training groups leave from the club (beginner, intermediate and advanced groups).
BEGINNERS GROUP

Ability: Suitable for recreational paddlers or those wishing to progress to racing eventually.
Join in:
Meet to be on the water at 5pm.
INTERMEDIATE GROUP
Intent: General fitness and improving racing techniques
Session Expectation: It will include training for fitness and racing as well as race starts, wash hanging and some technique improvement.
Time: 5pm-6pm Tuesday Nights
Ability: If you can paddle to Barkers bridge and back (ie 11.5 km) in under an hour and a half this is the training group for you.
Join in:
Meet group at the club just before 5pm before they get on the water.
In general the group will be in close proximity to club and if you are late you should be able to paddle out to join up with them.
ADVANCED GROUP
If you are not quite quick enough to stay with the Guns, then slot yourself into this group and build up your fitness base.
Intent: Increase your speed and endurance.
Time: 5pm-6pm Tuesday Nights
