We continue to welcome and help women develop their fitness, paddling skill, and sense of team. Currently, we have women whose experience varies from two years to twenty, with some having competed with the Senior A National Team level 6 times. We have paddlers that bike to practice, and those that travel over 100km each way. Our commitment to the team and each other is phenomenal!
