Continue to Paddle

Continue to Paddle is part of Cheema’s commitment to provide opportunities for 16-25-year-old paddlers to “Continue to Train” (CTT) and “Continue to Compete” (CTC).

CTC has competition opportunities, providing crew boat racing in K4s and/or C4s as well as C-15 (often called “Wars and Fours”)

CTT provides an opportunity for our alumni to keep paddling for the pleasure and fitness

Winter off-water season, November 1 to April 30. The off water/winter term will require that athletes join in with other groups at their training times or have permission from a supervising coach to train at other times. This relates most specifically to the weight room. Organized runs require no supervision. 

Summer paddling season, May 1 to October 31. Both elements of Continue to Paddle are largely unstructured with a few basic provisions that are oriented around safety, supervision and facility/equipment management. We encourage participants to form peer groups to train on their own or join in with "best-fit" training groups. The basic rules are that the club must be opened by a staff member; that a safety boat is ready at the dock; that the coach of a structured training group agrees to supervise participation; and that participants act as custodians of our shared resources.
