Club History

The Paddling Section (Canoe Club) is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting the sport of sprint canoe and kayak racing in the Beach community. The  goal is to provide a safe and enjoyable, recreational and/or competitive environment, for members of all ages and abilities. Programs are designed to develop both the physical and mental strength of individual members while encouraging team spirit.

Canoe racing has been part of the Balmy Beach Canoe Club since 1905 when the Club held its first regatta. The Paddling Section will celebrate its 100th Anniversary in 2005 and  interested parties should stay in touch for information on planned celebrations.
