Club Safety
Safety issues can never be ignored in our sport. Because most of our training is done on Lake Ontario waters, the cold water temperatures present a hazard. Some boats may appear to be more stable than others, safety can't be taken for granted.
Managing a capsized boat
Remember…. Those who tell you they have never fallen in are lying. It is a part of learning and improving. All involved, from paddlers to cox to motor boat drivers must be aware of, and comfortable with, the proper way to handle such a situation.
Caring for Boats
The Club has a wide range of canoes and kayaks and associated equipment to meet the needs and abilities of all the participants. Please treat with care. A boat in good condition is a pleasure to use.
What to wear
On water practices and regattas are held during all types of weather with some more advanced groups on the water from early spring to late fall. It is essential that you or your child be prepared.
Volunteering
The Club is a non-profit organization whose expenses are considerably higher than Club registration fees. Fundraising activities are required to maintain operations and to provide professionally coached programs and up-to-date competitive equipment.
Corporate Sponsorship and Events
The Balmy Beach Club is a not for profit organization and, as such, need to raise funds to support out programs.
