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.

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.
