Training

Magnetic Island Outriggers train from the Strand behind the Tobruk Pool, on the beach. Training times are as follows:

Monday 5:30pm

Wednesday 5:30pm

Friday 5:15am

Saturday 5:30am

Anyone can come down for a paddle; experienced or beginners. For beginners the best times to come down to start outrigging would be either on the weekday sessions in the afternoon. Bring comfortable clothes to exercise in (preferable light colours), water, hat, and sunscreen. From November to May it is stinger season, therefore, you should wear a cheap pair of stockings under your board shorts or exercise clothing.

If you would like to participate in a training session contact the coach (MIOCCcoach@gmail.com) or write to the Secretary (MIOCCsecretary@gmail.com).

Training schedules are put out during the regatta season approximately a month in advance. Now you will know what your in for before you turn up. Sessions are subject to change depending on weather conditions.
