Adult Paddling Lessons
The members of the Adult Section meet every Saturday. A first group practices for leisure and trains to participate in marathons; it is an opportunity to relax and share moments of conviviality. The second group maintains a competitive level, whether in road racing, downhill or slalom.
MARATHON
On a course of 12 to 35 km, the athlete develops his endurance and maintains an effort over time. On some circuits, he may have to leave his boat at the end of each lap, run a few hundred meters while carrying his boat, before embarking on another lap.

THE WORD TO MEMBERS
TESTIMONY
Since I arrived at the club, I have been practicing canoeing in the Adults Section. I made lots of people there. I really appreciate the synergy and the atmosphere in the group. I loved taking part in sporting gatherings, such as the Vogalonga Challenge in Venice for which I was an accompanist.
