If you have been training with the club or not, if you are a summer only or full year paddle we would love to have you join us.

Canada’s “FITDEX” is a fitness test that uses exercises proven to enhance a paddler’s
physical ‘canoe/kayak form’ or level of conditioning. The skill sets and physical capabilities the Provincial FITDEX demands for the older athletes are not appropriate for the younger athletes to attempt. Therefore, the U15 Dry-Land Olympics is designed to give U11-U15 athletes information regarding their athlete development as related to their growth and overall development patterns. This program measures speed, power, aerobic endurance, and relative body mass strength
endurance. Athletes are encouraged, from time to time, to try some of these events, in a properly
supervised environment, to see how they stack up against the Canadian norms listed below.

The U15 Dry-Land Olympics will consist of 9 events :
1) Push-ups – maximum number completed without stopping/pausing – 1” up / 1” down
2) 30 meter Shuttle Run – 4 X 7.5 meter lengths
3) Partial Curl-ups (Crunches) – maximum number completed without
stopping/pausing – 1” up / 1” down
4) Standing Long Jump
5) 50 meter Run
6) Endurance Run – 1500m
7)Swim – 300m
8)Body hang/ pull-ups- maximum number completed without stopping/pausing – 1” up / 1” down
9)Dips- maximum number completed without stopping/pausing – 1” up / 1” down
