Overview

Mission

To teach small boating safety and to develop young athletes in the Olympic sports of sprint kayaking and canoeing, and all other paddle sports. We strive for all paddlers of all ages and skill to be connected with a desire to pursue a lifelong passion of being on the water with a paddle.

What it reported doing in 2025

In 2025 sdckt continued to teach boating and small craft safety to san diego areayouth through our new program structure with paddle academy, seeing lots of growth and requiring additional coaches to keep up with the increase of youth paddlers. The program has grown to include monthly races to teach aspects of training and race ettique. We were once again recipients of a grant from the California division of boating and waterways which enabled us topurchase additional safety equipment. The program that started last year to team members how to maintain their own water craft has been a success with building a sense of ownership to give back to our local club and has expended into other volunteer activities for maintaining the boathouse and shared equipment. Our athletes attended national team trials with many of our team members racing in international competitions and pan american games for the USA national team. One of our challenged athletes competed in the yukon 1000, one of the most challenging races in the world. During the winter months, the senior and youth teams participate in local races throughout southern California.
