The club was originally known as the “Ventura Olympic Canoe Club” and had many National titles in the late 1970s and 80s.  After a dormant period, the club is being rebuilt as the Ventura Canoe & Kayak Club.

We welcome both youth and adult athletes!

While we do not put an age limitation on our paddlers, we generally would not expect an athlete under 12 to do more than our summer program.  Competition age brackets are set at under 18, under 16, and under 14 divisions for youth.  Adults may compete in the senior (or open) category, as well as master’s divisions.  Masters age groups begin at age 30, with different divisions spread out over 15 year intervals currently.
