All training sessions are held at the Sydney International Regatta Centre, Castlereagh Rd, Penrith Lakes. This Olympic class venue provides paddlers with showers, toilets and ample parking. Few clubs ever have the opportunity to train at a venue of this calabre and the Pendragons are the envy of others.

Sunday - 3:00 pm

                        Daylight Saving Months: Sports Crew and "Pink Ladies"

Sunday - 4:00 pm 

 Tuesday and Thursday -  6:00 pm

We meet under the breezeway between the boatsheds on the island.

Bring a water bottle and you need to wear a life jacket if you can't swim 100 metres in light clothing.

Accredited sweeps will keep you in a straight line and experienced coaches will ensure that you are applying the correct stroke technique and will get you fit and lean for the season's competition.

Boats and paddles are provided. We suggest you bring the following:

Rash shirt/ T shirt/ Singlet/ thermals - on cold days/ spray jacket - on wet days

Aqua shoes / old joggers. Bare feet is not advised as the floor of the boat can get very slippery.

Hat / Sunglasses/ Sunscreen.

Water - 500ml to 1 litre - bring it on the boat ( no glass)

Change of clothes - this is a water sport, you will probably get wet!

We also suggest you don't eat a heavy meal just prior to training!
