Pa d d l e w e s t e r n a u s t r a l i aPaddle WA is the State Sporting Organisation for paddlesports in Western Australia. Our vision is to be a thriving, cohesive paddling community, that embraces the dimension of paddling as a sport: adventure, recreation and competition.
Our purpose is to introduce and promote the sport of paddling in WA through participation in the activity of paddling for health, enjoyment, friendship, challenge and achievement.
The Paddle WA community is comprised of clubs, disciplines, committees, volunteers, coaches, Paddle Academy, the Board and staff. We represent the interests of a range of disciplines including marathon, slalom, sprint, sea kayaking, ocean racing, wild water and work collaboratively with other paddling organisations.
With it’s rich history, paddling in WA has been around for a number of years and continues to grow to now include over 2408 active club members of all ages, abilities and interests.
Paddle WA host some very unique community events throughout the year including Unite on the Swan. This is a fantastic opportunity to bring paddlers together bright and early on a Sunday morning out on the Swan River to attempt a Guiness World Record of the most paddlers rafted up as one. This physical presentation is quite magical in how it brings the community together even when off the water.
Paddle WA welcomes you to the community of paddlers in Western Australia. Website: www.paddlewa.asn.au

Pa d d l e a u s t r a l i aPaddle Australia (PA) is the peak body for paddling in the country. It exists to:
• Support the State Member Associations in the general running of their regional paddling clubs.
• Enable a competitive insurance scheme to cover paddle sports across the country.
• Manage accreditation of coaches, officials, instructors and guides.
• Promote the sport of paddling in all its disciplines across the states and territories.
• Organise national paddling events.
• Encourage the growth of paddling across the country.
• Administer funds for paddling from all sources in a transparent and fiscally responsible manner.
• Set up and maintain the Sport Performance (SP) program for Olympic and Paralympic disciplines.
• Work with other providers (AIS,SIS/SAS and clubs to develop athletes and gain sucess at World classlevels;
• Monitor the progress of athletes in these disciplines;
• Develop pathways for the development of athletes from paddling introduction to podium finishes
• Provide services for the succesful implementation of these programs
s l a l o m Slalom racing is one of two Olympic canoeing disciplines. Canoe slalom made its Olympic debut at the 1972 Munich Olympics, however it did not reappear until the 1992 Olympics in Barcelona. Racing takes place in singles and doubles (men only), in kayak and canoe classes. Race are held at local, state and national regattas at junior and senior level, in classes for men, women and veterans.
The first wild water slalom competitions were held in Switzerland in 1933. In slalom competitions each athlete completes two runs of the course on a route with 20 gates suspended over the river.
The competitions are against the clock and the result of each round is obtained by adding the time taken in seconds, and adding the penalties awarded at each gate by a judge. In a normal race, it is the best run of the two that counts.
S p r i n tCanoe Sprint Racing is one of the best-known competitive canoeing disciplines in Australia. This is probably due to its inclusion in the Olympic Games since 1936 and Australia’s involvement in all Olympics since the 1956 Melbourne Olympic Games.
Canoe Sprint Racing is all about speed on flat water over distances of 200 metres, 500 metres and 1000 metres. The craft that have been developed are sleek and fast but unstable. Sprint kayakers use specially designed paddles allowing for extra power and efficiency.
K1, K2 and K4 are the most popular classes of Canoe Sprint kayaking but there are also canoe classes, C1, C2 and C4. Races are contested by guppies (U12), junior, senior and master athletes

pat h wayThe purpose of the National Athlete Pathway Framework (NAPF) is to outline and monitor the athlete development pathway from learning the basics of paddling right through to elite performances.
The National Athletes’ Pathway Framework (NAPF) is a “roadmap” to guide all stakeholders in the development of the athlete from Foundation to Mastery. PA has used the Australian Institute of Sports’ (AIS) model for the development of its athletes’ pathways using the FTEM framework as its guide.
This document, along with various other support documents, provides the pathways for athlete development so that athletes can enter the system at any point and know what is next with the expectation of success in the future.
An athletes’ development occurs as part of three distinct stages. The NAPF encompasses the Non-elite stage where athletes develop foundation level skills before being identified and confirmed as having high performance talent at the Pre-elite stage and as such are provided with targeted sportspecific support and coaching to enable them to reach their full potential and progress through to the Elite stage, during which athletes achieve podium performances and ultimately, sustainable success on the international stage.
It also provides the pathways for athlete development so that athletes can enter the system at any point and know what is next with the expectation of success in the future.
The Paddle Australia high performance program is focused upon achieving success at the Olympic Games through the Sprint and Slalom programs. The high performance program within PA includes a deep reach to ensure targeted athletes are identified and nurtured along the athlete pathway.
PA supports three major streams of paddling at the Olympic/Paralympic level including Canoe Sprint, Canoe Slalom and Paracanoe.
FTEM Explained:
FTEM (representing Foundations, Talent, Elite and Mastery) is a framework of athlete development. As detailed in the graphic and table below, this model consists of the four, major developmental and performance levels which are then further broken down into ten separate phases. Paddle Australia has adopted the FTEM model to portray its National Athlete Pathway Framework.

Ta l e n t i d e n t i f i c at i o nThe Talent Development Program aims to identify and develop talent in sports outside of the Education Department school curriculum that WAIS operate as a sport program. The Talent Development Program is aiming for athletes aged 14 years to 17 years, with little or no experience in the nominated sports.
The future goal for identified athletes within the Talent Development Program is to represent Australia, in their nominated sport, at Olympic and World Championship level.
Across each Talent Development sport program, training will be conducted either at a nominated sport club (sport – specific training), physical training at a Club or at the West Australian Institute of Sport High Performance Service Centre in Mount Claremont (physical training).
Whilst training times will be determined by factors including school commitments, a typical training week during the first training block would be:- 3x sport–specific training sessions per week- 1- 2 physical training sessions per week Next testing date is 22nd September
Pa d d l e a c a d e m yThe SunSmart Paddle Academy caters for schools, senior groups, corporate team building, social groups and individual sessions.
Groups are able to learn basic paddling skills in a Fun and Safe aquatic environment. The program is available all year round with summer courses based on flat-water or ocean, and winter on flat-water or white-water. Paddle WA supplies all equipment required including Kayaks, Paddles, life jackets, spray decks, and knowledgeable instructors. This equipment along with instructors can be transferred to a number of locations: The SunSmart Paddle Academy ranges from 3-6 weeks, consists of correct stroke techniques, capsize drills/rescues, safety procedures on the water and how to embark and disembark the craft. Building skills and confidence on the water is a primary focus of the Be Active Paddle Academy through on-water exercises and games that relate to all canoeing disciplines.
Classes will be given the opportunity to gain skills in both surf skis and kayaks. We provide the opportunity and support, for interested participants to access higher awards and to join their local canoe/kayak club. Request a Booking Form from at [email protected]
Skills that will be gained by participants:
1. Show a full understanding of basic safety requirements for paddlers and their craft, and appreciation of the use of life jackets.
2. Launch the craft, embark and paddle away from the launching point.
3. Be able to demonstrate;• Paddling forwards, backward and emergency stops;• Turning the canoe;• The use of the paddle as a means of support in the
water;• Coming alongside another craft, and also a clear ap-
proach to the launching point;• Disembark, then re-embark, paddle to deep water, cap-
size and swim ashore with the canoe;• Empty the craft take it from the water and place it prop-
erly on the bank.

W e s t e r nA u s t r a l i a n i n s t i t u t e o f s p o r tThe WAIS Canoeing Program operates a daily training environment in sprint canoe with men’s and women’s program athletes training across 200m, 500m and 1000m disciplines. The focus of the WAIS Canoeing Program is based on developing athletes with the capability to represent Australia at benchmark events, both now and in the future. Scholarships are offered based on these assessments, with program athletes given support through access to; coaching, sport science services, sport medicine and personal excellence. The program corresponds approximately to the T3 level and above on the AC FTEM template. Selection for the WAIS program usually requires an athlete to be selected in an Australian Senior, Under 23 or Junior Sprint Kayak Team. This support is structured through a dedicated WAIS Performance Enhancement Team (PET), with all members of the PET working together to collaboratively enhance performance of WAIS program athletes. WAIS athletes train on the water 7 times a week, 3 strength and conditioning and numerous cross training sessions per week. The WAIS Canoeing Program is partnered through a strategic alignment with its National Sporting Organisation (NSO) and
