Return to Paddling

The club is re-commencing paddling on the river. These sessions are run in accordance with the club’s  UQ Sport approved return to paddle policy. These paddle sessions are run by club approved leaders with a COVID Safe Sport Coaches & Officials Certification and who are familiar with the club’s associated policy and procedures.

The flatwater or canoe polo sessions are each run fortnightly (for now – are in consultation with UQ sport for a little more often), and are two hours or less long and limited to no more than ten people (including the leader).

Session types
There are two disciplines that run independently as equipment is not shared. Flatwater sessions on the river or Canoe polo river sessions.

Conditions
Sessions are subject to a number of conditions that participants are required to adhere to (detailed in the registration process), including social distancing, sanitisation, online covid sign on logs and participant risk.

The first session is scheduled for Saturday 22 Aug from 8 to 10 AM, and additional sessions will be posted on the calendar.

The calendar and associated registration information is located on this page.
