Paddlers of the Fifth Moon ERG Clinic 10:30 am - 11:30 am
A one hour hands-on introduction to our indoor paddling program. You’ll learn proper paddle technique, get a feel for the rhythm of the erg, and experience how we train power, endurance, and timing—all in a fun, low-pressure setting.
Location: VI Paddling gym at Esquimalt United Church. This is located at 500 Admirals Road in Victoria (Esquimalt). There is plenty of street parking on Lyall, and you're looking for the entrance on Lyall marked 'elevator' - you'll find the erg gym immediately through that door.
Cost: $25 + GST
Please arrive 15 minutes early to warm up before the class starts.
The gym will open 10-15 minutes before each class. Please help us keep the gym clean by changing into gym shoes before entering.
We look forward to working with you!
