Sea Fit to stay healthy, physically and socially with this  mid week social paddle.

We're kicking up the pace a little, and adding technique coaching and fitness tips

​​​​​​​

​​

​

SEA FIT-ness welcomes beginner to intermediate paddlers for a midweek coached social.

​

This paddle interweaves a love for kayaking with exercises tailored to paddlers. It will be led by Aussie Tom (kayak guide / personal trainer) and E-J (guide / instructor). Each week we will focus on a different paddle technique and building up our fitness and paddle stamina, while exploring various routes around the Saanich Inlet.

 

While this is a coached session, the format is still relaxed to promote socializing and group growth. Both of your instructors bring many years of paddling experience, coaching, guiding and leadership.

​

The purpose of this program is to help the participant:

• Prepare for more challenging kayaking trips

• Unlock the ability to execute self-rescues and partner rescues without excessive physical struggle or fatigue

• Prepare for the physical demands of emergency situations, adverse weather, and expeditions

• To improve overall fitness, strength, balance, coordination, and endurance

​

Our typical adventure looks like this:

• Gear and boat prep 

• Coaching intro and warm up on the dock

• 1.5 hours paddling, with a focus on the technique of the week​

​

The program is intended to be inclusive and does not have a specific fitness benchmark (other than medical clearance) prior to registration. However, we recommend that each participant should already be able to kayak comfortably in calm waters, as we wish to accept weather-related challenges and include skills with an athletic component. This program is only suitable for participants who do not carry injuries or medical conditions that would ordinarily prevent them from kayaking safely and comfortably.

 

We will meet weekly, April through October, with the potential to paddle year-round.
