On top of the weekly water trainings to build up water confidence and individual skills in preparation for competitions, all members of the GESS Canoeing team will also need to undergo the One Star Kayaking Course certified by the Singapore Canoe Federation, to equip themselves with the necessary basic knowledge and ability to handle the sport. A training camp is also conducted in Semester One to foster leadership qualities, team bonding and discipline among the team members.
