The six month NBCC Winter Training Program is offered in two streams: Development for athletes who participate in other sports but wish to remain involved with paddling in the off season; and High Performance for paddlers who want to focus on paddling as a primary sport and compete at the provincial and national level. High Performance is further split in to Levels 1 and 2 to align with Long Term Athlete Development guidelines for various levels of physical and mental development. Athletes will work on improving their strength, flexibility, aerobic capacity and paddling technique over the winter to prepare for next season.  .Activities include strength training at the club, cross country skiing, running, swimming, stretching,  ergometer workouts and pool paddling.
