Training

Melbourne Flames regularly train at Shed 2, North Wharf Road, Docklands (Melways 2E B6).   From September to April we train up to three times per week, usually on Sunday mornings and Tuesday and Thursday evenings.  Details of the training schedule for the 2007/2008 season will be publicised in August 2007. 

Our winter training program is currently underway and focuses on developing technique and encouraging new paddlers to join us.   We train on Sunday mornings from 9am and generally spend an hour paddling on the water before gathering for a social chat at a local coffee shop. 

We provide paddles and life jackets, but you will need to:
  • wear old clothes (t-shirts, bike shorts are ideal)
  • wear old trainers or paddling booties on your feet
  • bring a drink bottle filled with water
  • bring a hat and sunscreen
  • bring a change of warm and dry clothes

 

We train in all sorts of weather conditions, but will not go out on the water if there is any safety risk. We endeavour to arrive at least 15 minutes prior to the nominated training time.  This allows time to catch up with fellow paddlers, do a few warm up stretching exercises, get a life jacket and assist with getting the boats our of the shed and into the water.
