20. Do I have to race? How are race crews chosen? |
|
Racing is optional, but is what we train for. Crews for races are set by coaches based on athletic ability and paddling experience to achieve the best running boat. There are different crews of varying abilities- some crews are vying for awards and others are vying for the optimal experience. What we want is for paddlers to have the best experience regardless of their crew, but the goal is to place everyone in a crew that can maximize everyone's abilities. This is not easy, and something that all clubs and coaches struggle to balance.
