What is Team Atlantic?

Team Atlantic is a group of athletes from most competitive clubs in Atlantic Canada. It’s comprised of athletes between the ages of 12 - 20 with Open Athletes in their early 20s.

What do they do?

These athletes have a chance to work alongside each other and train with high-performing athletes their own age from most clubs. The Atlantic Division organizes training sessions so athletes can come together and train with each other in team boats or singles. There are also dry land training opportunities throughout the off season (September - April). Additionally, athletes have a chance to attend athletes development sessions that cover topics like nutrition, sports psychology, and mental health. These sessions are a chance for athletes to develop their training regiment on and off the water.
