SCC Social Committee Presents

SCC Guided Paddle and BBQ

Friday 19th February from 5pm

Calling new and old members and anyone in-between!

SCC are hosting a Guided Paddle for anyone who fancies a Friday evening on the river with support people to show you the ropes. If you are a confident paddler, you can be that support person or just come along for the fun and the free BBQ afterwards.

Regular Friday Fitness and Race Training will be commence at 5.30pm and competent paddlers are invited to join this peer paddle. It’s self paced and self monitored in a 3km circuit to Chidley Point. You’re only racing against yourself and this is a great way to get fit so if you haven’t given the Friday evening paddle a try now is a good time to start.

At 6.30 pm Committee Member Kerry Hughes will be going through the set-up and care of some of the faster Club boats.

At 6.45 pm Julia Davies, the Club President will show us how to use the ERGO exercise machine upstairs to practise technique and improve fitness.

Come along for the Guided Paddle, Fitness and Race Training, Club talks or just to enjoy a sunset BBQ (served from 7.00 pm).

All welcome, new members particularly encouraged

BBQ provided, drinks BYO.

Please RSVP by Wednesday 17th February to Admin advising of any dietary requirements admin@swancanoeclub.org.au
