The Canoe Club starts paddlers as young as 10 years of age with classes of Competition Categories ranging from Atom to Masters. Beach has a rich tradition of successful competition and over the years, several members of Canada’s Olympic Canoeing Team originally came from Balmy Beach. There is also a Masters class comprised of male & females 25 + who compete for National honours at the Canadian Masters Championships. The Canadian Masters Championships did not come into being until 1986, a year after the first World Masters Games that were held in Toronto in 1985. Since then Beach paddlers have participated in the World Masters Games held in 1989 at Copenhagen, Denmark, 1994 at Brisbane, Australia and again in 1998 at Portland, Oregon. Beach has won the overall National title in 1988 and 1989.
